Effect of L-carnitine on the physical fitness of thalassemic patients.

Okay, I've got Carnitine (Acetyl to be specific), what should be the dosage?

I've read on previous page of up to 50/mg per kg. That's quite high for my weight I think. So can I take at least 1000mg/day? Carnitine also is taken by bodybuilders to lose weight, so taking a little higher dose won't have any weight loss effect on me, or will it?

Sharmin, I see your post and that you're giving it to your son since 4 years or so now, so what's your experience? What's your dose that you give to little A?

Thank you,

Start with 1000 mg daily. 2000 is the most you need. Bodybuilders take as much as 30,000 mg daily and then we see the supplement banned without a prescription in countries like Canada, because the health authority sees abuse by bodybuilders and take it away from everyone.

Very true.
