Joint Pain

Thanks to all..

I did not check my uric acid level.Now I am daily taking Folic acid ,Vitamin B complex and Iron supplement.

Last 2/3 weeks I am quite pain free..Next Friday I will check my HB.

My advice would be to check the levels in your blood of all the supplementations you are about to start first especially your Iron levels.

Haemoglobin is a key component however this can be influenced by multi factors such as inflammation or an internal infection or even both.

You should also check your uric acid levels.

L-carnitine can help raise the Hb. Continue anything like wheatgrass and magnesium that you may already be taking. B12 is also helpful.

You should be taking 2-5 mg folate daily. B Complex is sold as one tablet that includes many B vitamins. Please take additional folate beyond what is in a B complex tablet.

I can't really comment on specific brands without seeing the ingredients.

One one of the drug website www.1mg.com in India I read the following:

Side effects of Levo-carnitine:

Nausea, Palpitations, Paresthesia (tingling or pricking sensation), Peripheral edema, Gastrointestinal discomfort, Anemia, Muscle pain, Bone pain, Bronchitis, Cough, Diarrhoea, Gastritis, Headache, Increased calcium level in blood, Increased blood pressure, Muscle weakness, Tachycardia, Vertigo, Vomiting.

I can't imagine how much L-carnitine one would have to consume to get those side effects. Some bodybuilders have taken doses exceeding 30 grams daily. Perhaps that would cause it.

What surprises is that Anemia is listed as one of side effects of L-Carnitine?

Whereas I can find hundreds of sources that talk about using L-carnitine to raise Hb, I can't find a single source showing it causes anemia.

 
L-carnitine workable for thal intermedia and thal major patients?

Yes, it is a very important supplement for intermedia and major thals. It can help to prevent pulmonary hypertension, which afflicts thals at an older age.
