Andy,

As it is near impossible for me to get L-carnitine for my son - should I start him on L-arginine?  If so what would be a good dose for him (27kg) ? 

Thanks Andy,

Sharmin

Andy Battaglia:
Sharmin,

Since Big Brother Health Canada has made L-carnitine a prescription only "drug" (OMG! drug????  L-carnitine is produced in the human body!), I think you should try L-arginine. 500 mg daily would be fine.

This is exactly why consumers have to continue to defeat bills like C-51. It only gets worse from here if we allow the bureaucrats to decide that food products are drugs.

Sharmin:
Thanks Andy,

I'll start the L-arginine :)

These restrictions are really making it difficult for people to be proactive and preventative in their health care.

Sharmin, can't you tell your dotor about L-Carnitine and you can also show him the studies  and papers describing how it is very beneficial to thal and he in turns write a prescription for you in order to buy it

I just read that Lysine helps the body to make Carnitine

 Kiddie Pharmaton has Vitamin C and iron and other things while the Kiddie Pharmaton we have here in Egypt which is manufactured under lisence does not have Vitamin C nor iron for marketing reasons and to control its price
