Literature indicates that plasma-free carnitine concentrations return to baseline within 24 h following a single oral dose due to rapid renal clearance and minimal tissue retention in the short term

They demonstrated that large dosages of LC, up to 400 mg per day, are safe, despite moderate diarrhea and unusual body odor (fishy odor) being the main side effects
