Acetyl-l-Carnitine and Hashimoto's?

[KathFrances]

Hi, I see that l-carnitine has come up a few times on here, but I'd just like to check in again . . . I have Hashimoto's and take 1 grain Naturethroid daily. I also have atrial fibrillation and am taking supplements to support the heart e.g. CoQ10, magnesium, taurine. Carnitine is also recommended for this so I've just got some acetyl-l-carnitine. But now I've read contrasting things - that carnitine can inhibit the absorption of thyroid hormones and alternatively that some people have not found that effect. Has anyone on here with Hashimoto's tried acetyl-l-carnitine and found that it either did or didn't affect their thyroid function? Thanks for any feedback.

KathFrances,

I'm sorry you've had no replies. Feel free to repost your questions.

Thank you, never mind, perhaps no-one has anything definite to say about it. I'm going to try a low dose of acetyl-l-carnitine and monitor any effects.

Hi

Searching about l carnitine I found your post, so I am wondering how did you get on with it?
