L-Carnitine sides?

Post  Future on Thu Jul 10, 2008 9:08 pm

Greetings IH! Newbie to the forum here...

I just started taking L-Carnitine and ALA, based on your suggestions, but have now developed a nasty rash under both armpits. Seems Carnitine may be the culprit, based on what I've read. I'm currently taking 3000 mg of carnitine with 300 mg of ALA in divided doses per meal, and though I feel more energetic (seriously), I can't deal with this rash. Do you think it would be safe to drop the dosage of Carnitine but keep up the ALA, or would that upset the balance of things?

I've also recently added Fibroboost and Resveratrol, though I haven't read anything about those that would point to any sort of skin reactions.

Thanks,

Future

Future - One member had a rash from Ecklonia Cava (Fibroboost). It's the only report I have heard concerning a rash. Carnitine has never been associated with a rash for as many years as I've known about it. One distinction I should make is with Carnitine, the kind recommended is Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC), not regular Carnitine.

Acetyl L-Carnitine does quite a bit more than regular Carnitine. Either way, it would be surprising if that is the source of the rash.

Let us know what you find out, and we'll figure something out.

I meant to mention that I am taking the Acetyl-L-Carnitine, from iherb.com.

I'll drop the Fibroboost and the ALC for a few days and let you know what happens.

Just wanted to note that I take a Carn-it-All tab once per meal, 3x a day, AND an Acetyl-L Carnitine tab at 1g once per meal, 3x a day. Sort of covers the full-spectrum of Carnitines. I've noticed the boost in energy! I've been trying out BodyBuilding.com's R-Lipoic Acid (that's actually from proteinfactory.com though, interestingly enough, BB.com sells it cheaper than proteinfactor.com sells their own product), and have liked it thus far.
