- Today’s video is all about a common deficiency I see in people who have Hashimoto’s in my nutrition practice. Carnitine or Acetyl L-Carnitine is an amino acid and it offers lots of benefits for your health if you have Hashimoto’s.
Tune in to the video to find out if this supplement can help you with brain fog, weight loss or exercise recovery…and more actually! I love talking about nutrients and how they support the body if you have Hashimoto’s (or hypothyroidism) - today is a particularly interesting subject.

My understanding is to NOT take Magnesium within 2 or more hours of taking Synthroid.
Excellent video! Thanks! Am going to give it a try!
Took it after my stroke that was devastating! This turned my brain back on and was a game changer for me!! I take 1000mg twice a day on a empty stomach. This with magnesium Theonate is a very powerful combination!
Judy what company do you use? I don’t want to buy junk. 😂 so glad you found something to help you. I’m sorry you had to go through that
I take DoubleWood brand. It helps my life greatly.
Need this info 👍👍👍👍💕
Love this video! I have learned a lot from you and I really appreciate you. I have seen L-Carnitine in the store, but not with Acetyl included in the name. Is this the same thing you are talking about.
Wonderful! Yeps, taking Acetyl L-Carnitine has the best effects on brain/mood and may improve weight loss efforts. That is the form of carnitine I take!
This sounds amazing and I’d like to try it however in my further research I came across a couple of articles that mentioned this supplement can worsen Hashimoto’s symptoms due to inhibiting or blocking the uptake of thyroid hormones within the cell. Is this true? If so, I’m a little confused why it would be recommended....
Hi there are some contraindications for this supplement: People with peripheral vascular disease, high blood pressure, liver disease due to alcoholism (cirrhosis), diabetes, kidney disease, or a history of seizures should not take Acetyl L-Carnitine.
Like with all supplements, please consult your practitioner before supplementing and especially if you are taking these medications: AZT, doxorubicin, isotretinoin (Accutane), valproic acid (Depakote), or blood thinning medications.

@@SaraPeternell Thank you so much for replying! I’ll check out those links.

Do you find it affects the absorption of synthroid/levothyroxine? Or would taking them spaced out like any other supplement is okay?
I have the same question… did you find out the answer?
Is it normal to get cramps around liver & stomach? Thanks
Can you recommend a company that is reputable
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
To be sure, is Hashimoto's disease the same as HYPERthyroidism? My mom was diagnosed with HYPERthyroidism quite a few years ago, she did the radiation treatment which flipped it over to hypothyroidism. A couple of months ago she got a severe case of Covid and thankfully she's doing much better, but now the doctor has told her that it threw her thyroid medication off and now she has HYPERthyroidism again. She's dealing with prolonged symptoms, including brain fog, muscle aches, loss of appetite, insomnia and the works. I came across L-Carnitine as a solution for muscle ache due to Covid but I'm unsure how that may play out specifically for HYPERthyroidism. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
One Google search would have answered your question, but no… hashimotos is HYPO not HYPER. Hypo is under active thyroid while hyper is over active.
@@kinnymane8593 I have hashimotos and I swing from hypo to hyper often. I have hyper now. unfortunately :(
IRON... DO TESTS, AND TAKE FAR APART FROM HORMONE WITH BEETS (BEET SOUP)
This must be new research as I've read elsewhere that it interferes with your thyroid supplementation. That being said, I've been taking it for a while and FINALLY broke my plateau on the scale. I recover much faster after a workout and have had to lower my Synthroid :)
i have read that it can worsen your symptoms but i might give it a try
Doctors control the information out there. They don’t profit if your healthy. So yeah they want to lent towards how it could harm you. Look up Dr Berg about this. I have a question for you. Did you get hot flashes when you started this?
Was exactly searching for the same content after having read so many studies on its interference with levithyroxine. Could you pls discuss the benefits you gained. Thanks in advance
@@stayraw123 The biggest gained benefit is feeling energized - I no longer feel out of breath when lifting or doing strenuous exercise and feel I can trust my body when I call upon it when doing laborious tasks. I take synthroid in the early morning on an empty stomach and take the vitamins around 5 pm. I don't feel as though the Carnitine is interacting with it so keep them that far separated. Dr. Eric Berg is where I learned about Carnitine.
@@petersassytruth3069 thank you so much for such a detailed reply!! Will try as well
I do find it odd that you fail to mention acetyl L carnitine can stop thyroid hormones from working and trigger hypothyroidism. That is extremely important to mention.
Gotta say, surprised the way she/you talk about essential amino acids seems to infer that l carnitine is a protein building block?
Also specify difference of lcarnitine tartrate vs acytl l carnitine? (Even if you dont go deep into tatrate "sport")
Every bit of research online says L carnitine is harmful if you have hypothyroidism. How did you come to this conclusion?
I have heard the same
@@julissarivas6992 Yep, I wish she had answered because I still have the same question after 2 years.
@@kinnymane8593 someone else in the comments had the same question and she provided some studies and research findings but didn't necessarily answer the question. I'm looking for the brain benefits so I may try it but keep a close eye out on my thyroid and stop taking it if it negatively affects my thyroid. Good luck 🍀
I have hashimotos/graves and right now im hyperthyroid. should I try this out? thank you!
In fact , you should only use it if you have Hyper, you shouldn’t use it if you have hypo .
I have hypothyroid,can i take l carnitine madam?
I tried a high dose and it made me hypothyroid for the next week. It stops the thyroid hormones from working properly. I have been taking the lowest dose for several days and I feel OK so far but we will see how it goes.
So how was it. And what's your high and low dose?
@@preetammazumdar6802 Even the low dose made me hypothyroid. I can't remember the dosages... probably 500mg a day low dose and the highest dose was a one off dosage of over 1500mg.
Iam no doctor (disclaimer), but did some research. My conclusion and personal advise/input below.
ALCAR may not be safe; (below 12 points)
1. When you have epilepsy
2. Associated with higher risk of prevalent coronary artery disease
3. Bipolar disease (in people with bipolar disorder).
Futhermore
4. Lower blood sugar and higher triglycerides (in people with diabetes).
5. Trouble sleeping (best to take a bit in the morning when you come out of bed).
6. Higher blood pressure.
7. Headaches.
8. When you got clogged veins and have problems with hart arteries.
9. Seizures...
10. Neuropathy.
11. Hypothyroidism.
12. Diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting
Taking to much- and take to much every day.. gives the higher risks. The less you take the more safe it will be! You could use maybe 100 mg (open a capsule with 500 mg and take out the powder) take a fifth of it now and then on days when you have a lot to do. Don’t exaggerate with 500 mg or even 1000mg daily etc etc! Keep days maybe weeks months that you do not use it. Natural it comes in verry little quantities from, for example red meat. So logic to keep it small. Not to exaggerate. And if possible do not take at all.. is my opinion. When I feel down I normally take a good walk in nature 2x a day. A nice dog can make wonders to. And I make songs to help other people. That gives a lot of energy to! But not every case is the same I know. I don’t want to judge you!
I made a song for depressed people. Goes about an accapella group that goes around in the city. And they visit people that are depressed or sick and then they sing this song for them at home or in hospital to build them up. They are still seaking members. And they hope you will join them to sing with them for other people to! I hope my vision will make your day, and that it may carry you, give you hope inpsaration, energy and vision. Check out the song; Cleaning up my room from Martin Mill (acapella)
This is such bad advice. & no real expert should be citing ‘stuff they just googled’ as research. NO. People who need their T3 & T4 meds to have functional thyroid process should NOT take carnitine (or alcar) supps. Stop. Unfollow this bozo. So irresponsible. I had hashi’s and stage 3 thyroid cancer (thyroid removed) and for 20 yrs I’ve see top doctors at Stanford Hospital and Moffit Cancer Center. Follow real experts & doctors. Not bozo the clown here.
Wow! Not a very nice comment! I see other thyroid Drs too saying it helps with Hashimoto's as it helps with adrenal fatigue. Check it up and be nice!
To say it’s ok to take right along w thyroid meds is malpractice.
