Should You take L-Carnitine If You Have Hyperthyroidism?

[olafweinzer]

As genetics influences some uses of medications and supplements, I inform you that I am of Franco-Basque origin and L-carnitine was the silver bullet against the effects of hyperthyroidism. Nervousness, sweating, dizziness and anxiety reduced by 90% with 1000mg of L-Carnitine Treated per day.

My naturopath put me on this a few months ago, along with many other things. My goiter has become smaller. I've had a goiter 7 years.

Hello Sir. I got diagnosed with graves disease last march. I started low dose of methimazole and sent me to hospital with severe granulocytopenia and sepsis. I almost died. Now I am on low dose propylthiuracil since April (10 months) and my levels are normal. The problem is that although my T3 T4, fT3 and fT4 and TSH are within normal range, I started having arythmias again all the time since one month, like when I was untreated. I dont know what is wrong. Medication also made me severly overweight, I got 15 kg. Is L- Carnitine good option? I am scared of rhe seizures or if it will affect my arrythmia. I asked my endo and my cardiologist and both told me they dont know and it is better not to take it to stay on safe side because they have no idea of the effects of L- Carnitine. Thanks doctor

I was wondering if L carnitine is helpful if my TSH is 1.06 and my t4 free direct is 1.25 ng/dl ?
My Graves’ disease is in remission currently since 2017 but have developed another nodule on my thyroid. Started with 3 and now have 5 nodules. Lab tests completed Aug 2023

But doesn't this supplement enhance fat burning? Hyperthyroidism already causes weight loss...
