Will L-Carnitine together with CoQ10 be helpful on a Low carb diet as it is on a Kto diet?

Hi there Herr-Gloop-

Welcome to MyNetDiary! I hope your tracking is going well~

Acetyl-L-carnitine supplements are generally considered safe when taken as directed. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting or agitation. There isn't enough information to confirm this supplement will aid in weight loss.

CoQ10 supplements are generally considered safe. The research on COQ10 and weight loss is mixed. This study found no benefit:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7804873/

Unfortunatley, dietary supplements are not regulated by the FDA. Make sure to talk to your doctor before taking a new dietary supplement and make sure you understand the pros and cons of the supplement(s) you are taking. This article provides information on using dietary supplements:
