Overview
•Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl is generally well tolerated at 500mg, though clinical studies often use higher total daily amounts split across the day.
•Possible side effects include nausea, stomach upset, fishy body odor, restlessness, headache, or insomnia, especially if taken late in the day.
•Use caution with warfarin or other anticoagulants because carnitine products have been associated with altered INR in case reports.
•People with seizure disorders, bipolar disorder, significant kidney disease, or thyroid conditions should ask a clinician before use.
•Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety is not well established, so this product is best avoided unless specifically recommended by a healthcare professional.
•Label states it is free of milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, crustacean shellfish, fish, soy, gluten, and titanium dioxide; it does contain gelatin and rice flour.
