I discuss many supplements and herbs on my daily blog through the last 11 years. I like to discuss supplements that have been supplement. One such supplement, L- carnitine, an amino acid has been discussed numerous times. An article was published in Nutrients. It was discussed in relation to Metabolic Syndrome. Another name for this disease is Insulin Resistance, Type 2 diabetes or Syndrome X.
It is usually characterized by high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol ( HDL) and increase abdominal pr waist girth. It can have a normal to high blood sugar level.
The supplement, L carnitine at doses 750 mg to 3,000 mg a day was used. Supplementing with L carnitine was associated with significant reductions in waist circumference and lower systolic blood pressure compared to the placebo group.
I suggest to discuss this supplement with your health care practitioner
Until tomorrow…
