Hi, I switched my english bulldog to a vegan diet after I read the kind diet. I first found the dosage on prevention at http://www.carnitine-taurine.com/. I then called my vet to make sure this was acurate and she agreed with the dosage. You can find both supplements at whole foods. Walmart carries L-Carnitine. But I usually buy both supplements in bulk at vitacost.com
I'm switching my dog too and doing LOTS of reading and trying different things to see how he and I both like them. Vegedog is a complete supplement for vegan dogs that can be added to anything; you can read about it and order it at vegepet.com. I am using that without problems. I'm not sure that carnitine is 100% necessary, though many people like to add it for cardiac benefits. I've tried Dr. Harvey's and I'm not crazy about it (just a personal thing, I guess). So far I've learned that my dog LOVES tofu, lentils, oatmeal and brown rice :-). I've read that vegan dogs may develop alkaline urine which can lead to stones- so testing that is a good idea. I understand that cranberry supplements can easily remedy that.
L-carnitine isn't recommended to a person that is certainly on cancers treatments for instance doxorubicin. It is because it is likely to safeguard the cardiovascular tissue coming from the hazardous effects of doxorubicin, and so lessens its usefulness.
Given that L-carnitine participates in the metabolic functions, several minimal, not comfortable activities can be all natural. A lot of people sense sick and also light headed within the first time of the consumption. Normally, this kind of unwanted effects fade away as the human body becomes accustomed to it.
A lot of people who definitely are on ordinary medication dosage of L-carnitine endure regular body allergy, nausea or vomiting, diarrhoea as well as disappointment.
