Suggest Acetyl-L-Carnilite And Deanol Dosage For A Migraine And Sinus Infection

I have had total exhaustion, brain fog since I had my left kidney removed 12 years ago. I have chronic pain in cervical, thoracic, and low back due to MVA 15 years ago. Pain mgt doc thinks it triggered fibromyalgia, but have been exhausted long before this. I also have chronic migraines and sinus infections & have been tested for just about everything my GP could think of and nothing comes up wrong and have been sent to lots of specialists to no avail. I have read about acetyl-l-carnitine and deanol (DMAE) for these conditions I ve read conflicting dosage info, and would like to know dosages recommended to start with, and other supplements that are used for these symptoms. I have also read about brain and energy boosting supplements, but would rather start with one supplement at a time to see which is beneficial.

Hello,

There is no real consensus about the dosages of natural supplements.

That is because they haven't undergone studies pharmacokinetic studies regarding absorption and elimination in the blood as other FDA approved drugs. Hence dosages vary from one manufacturer to the other.

For Deanol the most commonly used dosage is 1000 mg per day, while for L-Carnitine 990 mg twice a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
