L-Carnitine

for Graves' Disease

An amino-acid derivative supplement, typically dosed at 2-4g/day.

How it works

Acts as a peripheral thyroid hormone antagonist, inhibiting entry of T3/T4 into cell nuclei and blunting tissue-level effects of excess hormone.

What to watch for

Does not lower TSH, free T4, or free T3 levels -- it only blunts symptoms; small trial base; discuss with your doctor before combining with other therapy.
