Kimmi: How much L-carnitine is in a tablespoon?
Jase: The 15ml serving lists 1,000mg, plus vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid. It also contains 4g of carbohydrate.
L-carnitine participates in fatty-acid metabolism, but this does not guarantee better energy, fat loss or “optimal” levels. It can cause nausea, diarrhoea or a fishy body odour and may interact with warfarin and thyroid hormone.
The label is for adults and advises medical consultation with thyroid disease, medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding. The ingredient list describes non-animal-sourced L-carnitine, but finished-product vegan suitability is not expressly confirmed. The allergen statement notes shared-facility processing.
Directions
Suggested Use: Shake well before using. Take 1 tablespoon daily, preferably on an empty stomach.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place after opening.
Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication (especially thyroid hormones or anticoagulant medications), or have a medical condition, including thyroid disease. Keep out of reach of children. Natural colour variation may occur in this product.
