In a person with an overactive thyroid gland, who produces such large quantities of these thyroid hormones that he/she develops a variety of symptoms (including palpitations, increased body temperature, shakiness, irritability, insomnia and weight loss), the inhibiting effects of L-carnitine can be useful (Benvenga, 2005). 2020;52(2):e13470. However, on account of strict homeostatic regulation of plasma L-carnitine concentrations, higher doses of L-carnitine supplementation may not provide additional therapeutic benefits. View abstract.
