The dose is 1 gram per 100 lbs of body weight for neuropathic hoof pain, acetyl-L-carnitine - not L-carnitine. You can go to twice daily with no problem,

The first step to wisdom is "I don't know."

Hi, Jennifer. While you wait for Dr Kellon’s response, would you confirm the dose of L carnitine? I thought it was 1 mg, not 1gram per pound body weight.

Hello-

I reached out about 3 weeks ago asking about dosing l-carnitine. I added to T-Birds diet to hopefully see less fat patches (shoulder/tail) and neuropathy/foot sore. Dr. Kellon stated 1gram per lb. of horse twice per day for 2weeks then once per day continued. Side note: T-Bird is hay and mineral balanced.

Big results for T-bird; within a week his fat patches softened; he had a nice increase in energy and muscle comfort; he moved with ease; it seemed to increase joint comfort as well (Also on Equithrive Original, MSM and Move Ease for a couple years). He was walking over rocks with no hesitation. Amazing results very quickly.

Then:
I backed off to 1 time per day and the results seemed to drop off significantly. Can I increase to twice per day again or is that too much?


Thank you-

Jennifer
