Carnitor is a diet supplement used to prevent and treat low blood levels of carnitine. Carnitine is a substance made in the body from meat and dairy products and helps the body use certain chemicals (long-chain fatty acids) for energy and to maintain good health.
Low blood levels of carnitine can occur in people who cannot properly use carnitine from their diets, individuals on dialysis due to serious kidney disease, and those being treated with certain drugs like valproic acid and zidovudine. Low carnitine levels can lead to liver, heart, and muscle problems.
Carnitor comes in two forms: levocarnitine (the medication) and D-carnitine. An over-the-counter product called vitamin Bt contains a mixture of levocarnitine and D-carnitine, but it should not be used to treat serious carnitine deficiency as it can interfere with the body's use of levocarnitine. Levocarnitine should only be used to treat serious carnitine deficiency if prescribed by a healthcare provider
