Pumped. The concept behind using probiotics in conjunction with L-Carnitine is too offset the microbiome disruption from TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide), from eggs and red meat.

On a side note, probiotics are weak at restoring our gut/colon microbiota without a sufficient amount of prebiotics.

Right but is this shown to actual be beneficial, or just speculation? I have Crohn's and in theory VSL#3 DS probiotics should be great for me but I never noticed any benefit from them. Splenda in theory harms beneficial gut flora and I eat 10-20 packets every day but when I removed it for 2 months I saw no benefits. So I get the theory but wondering if this is actually shown to be beneficial.



Still not sure where he got the idea on different cardiovascular benefits from acetyl l-carnitine vs l-carnitine. Not trying to be harsh or anything at all, just want to get the facts straight.
