Can you take L-carnitine while trying to conceive?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If it's simply L-carnitine, it can be taken with peace of mind, as it has no significant side effects on the fetus. At the same time, it is recommended to use weight-loss medications moderately and not to lose weight excessively, especially during pregnancy. It is best for expectant mothers to be a bit plump during pregnancy, which is also beneficial for the fetus. If you plan to get pregnant, start taking folic acid three months in advance to reduce the risk of fetal malformation. Wishing you a speedy delivery of a precious child and a happy life.
