L-carnitine and angina:
L-carnitine may help treat angina: L-carnitine (important for energy production in cells) supplementation might be good for managing chest pain or discomfort (angina) according to a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 44 men with stable angina. Carnitine plays a role in the cell production of energy. The results of this study, which randomly administered 1 g L-carnitine or placebo to participants, showed that daily use of L-carnitine may increase exercise tolerance. At the end of this 4-week study, compared to placebo, L-carnitine participants experience an increase in exercise work load and work needed to exacerbate their angina. Additionally 22.7% and 9.1% of L-carnitine and placebo participants, respectively, became free of angina. L-carnitine had no effect on blood pressure or heart-rate. (23)
