Thank you, Dr. Berg! I first heard of L-Carnitine as a weight loss aid, which I didn't need. At age 49 I had a heart attack. I didn't know it (no pain) and waited 5 days before seeking answers for my lack of breath with even minor exertion. I was told that the back side of my heart was dead due to the delay. I'm very grateful that you explained in such great detail exactly why I need this! I'm now 65 years old and will definitely be taking this supplement! You've been such a blessing to me and so many others here!! May you and your loved ones be blessed, as well!!
Don't take carnitine if you you've had a heart attack, if will only lead to another. You need CoQ10, this is a direct nutrient/supplement thats needed for heart repair and heart health. Studies have even showed that most people who have heart attacks are low in CoQ10.
I use this once a week in order to maximize my Street Workout (calisthenics skills) training. And I can tell you: this plus fasted state plus a dash of salt plus morning is a BIG TRIGGER for energy xD
I used L-carnitine once and I did notice increased performance, but I wasn't sure what benefits it have so I stopped. Now after watching this video I think I am going start it again. Thanks for the video
I saw someone online claiming to have impressive results and because I’m skeptic of info online to avoid fads I just had to see if you had a video on this topic. Now I’m a believer it works because you’ve helped me so much with a better lifestyle. 💯

Also, Your videos help me explain healthy eating and weight loss to my patients in a fun way. Thank you for your videos ! ❤ bless you !
Thanks very much Dr Berg for another brilliant video. I just love learning about the internal parts of our human bodies IE mitochondria ect and how to look after it. The education is second to none. Much love 🙏🏻😊

L-Carnitine is synthesized from essential amino acids L-Lysine ; L-Methionine. It requires cofactors - active B6, B3, vit C and iron. I just take an essential amino acid complex (that has both lysine & methionine) & pair that with a B6/B-Complex + vit C.

I started taking this when I was diagnosed with T2 as I read a study that said that it was beneficial for diabetics and that a study showed marked improvement after taking it. Good to know it has other benefits
Interesting. I'm also T2 but I've gone in the opposite direction. I stumbled onto L-Carnitine only after I had gotten my blood glucose down to safe levels and found out about it because I'm doing more weight training and was looking for good endurance/recovery supplements. Good to know it may be beneficial for non-workout-related things.
Even before taking major supplements, but just regular vitamins and minerals, I noticed Carnitine has a special, even the strongest effect in recovery.

I take L carnitine, been about two weeks. I bought it from gnc, I take a scope with some water in the am before going to work and I take a scope with water when I come home before eating dinner
Dr. Berg Does L-Carnitine kick you out of your fasting state? I would like to drink it before or after my work out but dont want it to kick me out of my fast..... 2nd question When is the best time to take L-Carnitine?
Fun fact, low skeletal carnitine can be caused by masturbation (as testosterone cannot be properly uptake by the androgen receptors that action nullifies). I.e masturbation causes fat gain and retention along with difficulty gaining muscle or retaining it.
Oh wow! I never really knew anything about this until today. I have an arrhythmia - fast heartbeat - and I take 25 to 50 mg of atenolol per day since the 90s and it helps to manage episodes. Great information for my 59-year-old body! So grateful a friend recommended you to me and I subscribe and watch many of your clips! We love you Dr. Berg 😍🥩
I also have fast heart rate and am on metapropolol and have seen alot of research on magnesium and heart health alot of people find that it was a magnesium deficiency that was causing it. I am ordering my suppliment from Amazon today. Don't take magnesium oxide preferably taurate:)
My siblings and I were diagnosed with genetic carnitine transporter deficiency disorder. I’ve been taking prescription grade L-Carnitine for years. My doctor said not to try the keto diet because my body doesn’t metabolize fat well. I decided to do keto anyways and I lost weight, feel better, and don’t seem to have any symptoms.
@@ivyzzzz6942 Did your doctor do a blood test to see how deficient you are? Your doctor should tell you how many mg you should take based on your blood test results.
@@voiceofreason1829 I had no symptoms. My niece was born deficient because my sister has it too. Neither of us ever had any symptoms. Have you been diagnosed?
If you have individual amino acids long term, you can alter nitrogen balance and buildup more ammonia. Tip : If you want to tap into nearly all the 20 amino acids in a sustainable way, consider a Quality Essential Amino Acid - EAA complex having 9 essential aminos and pair that with a methylated B complex, coupled with some zinc and magnesium. I personally have my EAA complex with active B6 - P5P. If you don't have significant many genetic mutations in amino acid and protein metabolism pathways, this would give you access to other 11 conditionally essential and non-essential amino acids plus availability of all 20 amino acids for endogenously synthesing a range of required proteins your body needs.
Hi Dr. Berg.. what about L Arginine? I tend to be confused with the both of them, with regards to their benefits and uses. Can you do a video on L Arginine too?
They are like opposite sides of the same coin. Both benficial. If you supplement, you take them at separate times (or they will sort of cancel eachother out). But best to learn as much as possible before taking either one, as sometimes pre-existing health conditions (especially ones you may be unaware you have), can cause you more harm than good. Also, always stae=rt with the lowest amount first (as in less than what the label suggests), before taking the full amount of these particular supplements.
How are we to take all these vitamins you suggest? Are these all as a supplement, it seems that would be a lot of things to consume daily. Is it safe to take , potassium, magnesium, choline, Vitamin D3 with K2, Sodium, COQ10, LCarntine,
Be careful!!! I was taking a lot of different vitamins and when I went for my yearly physical I had an overactive thyroid and liver enzymes... I’m pretty sure that it was cause I was mixing too many vitamins and supplements.
Supplement no more than 1/3 of your daily recommended intake. Only take vitamins you are deficient in. Macro and trace minerals from bio available sources, learn the difference between recommended daily intake- RDI and Safe upper limit or maximum allowable intake. Anything over RDI should be done with a MD's guidence. The rest you should get from eating naturally, from good food choice.
How much L-Carnitine is recommended ? Dosage ? Thank you Dr Berg. Your videos are amazing and helps me to help my clients in my holistic healing practice.
L-Carnitine for someone who's not deficient in carnitine production will gain almost no benefits for weight loss or increased energy/focus Acetyl-L Carnitine may however improve brain focus. So to those watching this video thinking they should take L-Carnitine Tartrate to lose weight don't. Leave this supplement for those who are deficient and are hypoglycemic
Dr. Berg > When doing Intermittent fasting is the low calorie count a problem? I am 15 years old and training regularly. Is it better to have more calories by maybe doing two meals a day with intermittent fasting? Thank you so much.
Please be aware that excess L carnitine is converted into TMAO in your system. How much TMAO your body produces depends on the amount you take, duration of your course, and how your body converts this. Be aware that TMAO is a big risk factor for heart disease and can accelerate the process. So though you may get “benefits”, know the risks.
I take a proteolitic enzymes everyday (in my 60s) to help with the digestion of proteins in my diet and to help with inflammation. Being on keto for this last year changed my diet considerably and aging also seems to increase this need. But I WIL consider adding these 2 heart healthy nutrients too. THX Dr. Berg...you rock!! 🎸
Wanted to put this here because it’s your most recent video.... I need to know how to successfully get through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. These holidays are the worse to try to struggle through. Please do a special video for this.
Dr. Berg, please do a video about people who have carnitine deficiencies! Simply taking acetyl l carnitine and B vitamins doesn't fix the problem. What else can we do to get more energy and feel better?
For some reason, I have no idea why, this amino acid REALLY helps my psoriatic arthritis!! A friend with fibromyalgia said it helps her too. Interesting!
lot of diseases are due to impaired mitochondrial function. so everything that improves mitos might help with your disease. also carnitin seams to improve blood flow. Vitamin D also helps with this kind of inflamatory disease. i would try huge dose like 10.000 for a few weeks
I'm surprised he didn't mention the difference between L-carnitine and Acetyl l carnitine. They are quite similar, thought Acetyl is more used for brain boosting, a nootropic, cognitive function. Whilst straight l carntine, Is more of a weight loss, exercise supplement. I prefer Acetyl, it really has the best of both worlds, still the fat burning, but skewed towards a cognitive boost.
You’re suggesting this is good for heart health but I have heard and read that your gut produces TMAO whilst breaking this down. This has been suggested to be detrimental to cardiovascular health. Is this true?
AI says that research shows that L-Carnitine can cause increased levels of the pro-atherogenic compound trimethylamine Nmay contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis and hardening of the arteries, particularly in individuals with metabolic syndrome. WHAT IS YOUR INPUT ON THESE STUDIES?

Carrdiologist Dr. Stephen Sinata recommends four supplements for CHF: L-carnitine CoQ10, Magnesium and D-ribose. Look him up.
Don't take carnitine if you you've had a heart attack, if will only lead to another. You need CoQ10, this is a direct nutrient/supplement thats needed for heart repair and heart health. Studies have even showed that most people who have heart attacks are low in CoQ10.
Add magnesium coq10 vit e ,c and d ribose

Beware of L carnitine. Too much of it will cause your system to produce more TMAO, which contributes to further worsening of heart issues.

Ginkgo Biloba. Thomas DeLauer talks about it (he is another good Keto/youtuber to watch).
Lion's Mane Mushroom. Buy it from Amazon. Best brand is real mushroom.
Please be aware that excess L carnitine is converted into TMAO in your system. How much TMAO your body produces depends on the amount you take, duration of your course, and how your body converts this. Be aware that TMAO is a big risk factor for heart disease and can accelerate the process. So though you may get “benefits”, know the risks.
Yes, I came across this information also and would LOVE to know Dr Berg's thoughts on this!!!
Dr Berg should have mentioned this I am glad you gave us this information
Thanks
Just take garlic with it
I take a proteolitic enzymes everyday (in my 60s) to help with the digestion of proteins in my diet and to help with inflammation. Being on keto for this last year changed my diet considerably and aging also seems to increase this need. But I WIL consider adding these 2 heart healthy nutrients too. THX Dr. Berg...you rock!! 🎸
Is there a particular brand you’ve found that you trust?
Very informative as usual, thanks dr. Berg!
Bravo. I love seeing what you're talking about on the white-board. It makes every topic so easy to understand.
Thats a good knowledge, thanks Dr. Berg
Thank you for this my daughter is on L Carnitine and CoQ10 for Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome to help with her mitochrondra.
Hwo did it go for her? I hope she’s doing fine now 😊
Important to include 600mg of Garlic extract to counteract the TMAO effect of L-carnitine. Google this for deeper analysis.
I just ordered this yesterday! I'm excited to see how this will work for my body. You're video came right on time! Thank you for you're content.
Im not so sure it will work on someone of your girth and size, it'll be overwhelmed and overmatched. Sorry :/
Wanted to put this here because it’s your most recent video.... I need to know how to successfully get through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. These holidays are the worse to try to struggle through. Please do a special video for this.
Tami, each one of those days are only 24 hrs long. You can't make a plan to get things done for a 24 hour period?? Plan ahead.
Wow!!! This is great info Thank you dr.berg..will start my husband on tnis for his heart.♥️
Hi, what is the best daily dosage of L-Carnitine. Thanks for your videos
Does Acetyl-L-Carnitine & Carnitine have the same effect ?
Very good explanation and great information., thank you!
i add it in my preworkout thanks for the content
Dr. Berg, please do a video about people who have carnitine deficiencies! Simply taking acetyl l carnitine and B vitamins doesn't fix the problem. What else can we do to get more energy and feel better?
maybe liposomal might help?
For some reason, I have no idea why, this amino acid REALLY helps my psoriatic arthritis!! A friend with fibromyalgia said it helps her too. Interesting!
lot of diseases are due to impaired mitochondrial function. so everything that improves mitos might help with your disease.
also carnitin seams to improve blood flow.
Vitamin D also helps with this kind of inflamatory disease. i would try huge dose like 10.000 for a few weeks
@Marcie Renee how much and what brand do you take?
Asalamualaikum Dr. Berg. Your knowledge is amazing🙂 I have learned soooo much from you.
Hey Doctor, just finished watching your video. Congrats you've got one more subscriber
I'm surprised he didn't mention the difference between L-carnitine and Acetyl l carnitine. They are quite similar, thought Acetyl is more used for brain boosting, a nootropic, cognitive function. Whilst straight l carntine, Is more of a weight loss, exercise supplement. I prefer Acetyl, it really has the best of both worlds, still the fat burning, but skewed towards a cognitive boost.
Dr. Berg, Male pattern baldness info would be great !!
He has done some videos.
How to stop L Carnitine from blocking the conversion of T-4 to T3?
Very useful information doctor as always
You’re suggesting this is good for heart health but I have heard and read that your gut produces TMAO whilst breaking this down. This has been suggested to be detrimental to cardiovascular health. Is this true?
Hello doctor

Very nice and clear presentation..

AI says that research shows that L-Carnitine can cause increased levels of the pro-atherogenic compound trimethylamine Nmay contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis and hardening of the arteries, particularly in individuals with metabolic syndrome. WHAT IS YOUR INPUT ON THESE STUDIES?
