Nutritional Advice for Thal Minors
Sharmin:
Thank you for sharing mgk. My son was on L-carnitine for many years. He's an athlete so I think it helped him in many ways. He hasn't taken it for the last few years - his life has gotten busier, but I will get him back on it.

I read that there are also studies that indicate that Carnitine in large doses could be bad for one's health. I'm always skeptical towards certain supplements that also play a big role in the fitness industry. There is often just too much "New Wonder Supplement Found!" in all those studies.
Sharmin:
sofear,
I understand your concerns.
My son was prescribed a dose from the doctors at the Oakland comprehensive centre where they have studied it very closely in thals. I think that this may benefit others as well.
The needs of thals are very different from the general population.
Andy Battaglia:
sofear,
What is meant by large doses of carnitine are the ridiculous size doses used by body builders. These doses are as high as 30 grams daily. This became such a problem that L-carnitine is only available by prescription is some countries.
1000-2000 mg daily is a safe dose.

Hey Andy!
I have eaten vitamin supplements now for years, changed my eating habits to a high-nutrient density diet and have increased cardio exercise with cycling and swimming, lost -15kg and i feel more energized than ever! Big thanks to you and this community for giving me the first step to change my lifestyle to a healthier one!! :ty
I'm going to a lab to check my levels of cholesterol, omegas, insuline, ferritin, vitamins (b9, b12, c, e) and minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc).
This lab offers huge list of things to test for a fair price, is there anything else important i should also test?
