"Just Googled L-Carnitine and cholesterol and came up with this paper "Influence of L-carnitine supplementation on serum lipid profile in hemodialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis." It kind of states the opposite of what you reported on the radio or TV program - that L-carnitine lowers LDH cholesterol. My former gynecologist takes high doses of vitamin C after he had heart surgery as he refused to take statins and he is now 90, alive and well and still giving talks on the subject." and
"I hadn't heard about that research on Carnitine. I do know that high doses of vitamin C and Lysine unclogs arteries (research from Linus Pauling). I am wondering whether the report on Carnitine was started by Big Pharma as they have been trying to block research on L-Carnitine as they stand to lose a lot of money if it gets promoted as a treatment for Graves. I think it all comes down to balance. Carnitine is an amino acid that is naturally found in muscles of the body and Graves patients are deficient in it so replacing it makes sense and people would not report feeling better on it if that were not the case. " and
"Here is another study refuting that L-carnitine raised cholesterol levels. It states that it is the saturated fat in red meat that raises cholesterol levels, not the carntine. Google this title "Carnitine Study: A Response, April 2013".
I think Dr. Oz has done the world a disservice by disseminating that information. I have not seen any study that shows there is any such side effect to supplemental L-Carnitine. The negative effect of eating red meat which has carnitine in it is not the carnitine but rather the saturated fat in red meat.
