== Treatments == The standard treatment of low serum carnitine is Levocarnitine, a prescription form of carnitine. Carnitine can be supplemented in different forms, eg. l-carnitine, l-carnitine l-tartrate, L-carnitine Fumarate, etc. The different forms are believed to have slightly different areas of use. It is advised to avoid D-carnitine and DL-carnitine. These forms of carnitine might block the effects of L-carnitine and cause symptoms that resemble L-carnitine deficiency. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is popular supplement, but is considered to have a slightly different effect than other forms of l-carnitine, because of its ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier. ALCAR is sometimes called the "neurological l-carnitine". There are some people who should be extra careful with carnitine-supplementation. These include patients with thyroid disease, patients taking medication for thyroid disease, patients on blood thinning medications and in those with a history of seizures.
