- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, 2 reported beneficial effects of L-carnitine on reducing malondialdehyde (MDA), with effect sizes ranging from small to moderate, and 1 study found a neutral effect. A large meta-analysis (n=3255) showed a significant small beneficial effect (p=0.001), and a small RCT in women with migraine (n=80) found a significant moderate benefit; a third RCT in critically ill patients (n=60) found no significant difference. The median study duration was 46 days. Evidence is preliminary given the small number of studies.
