I am wondering, had I not known what I know, if I would now have this additional diagnosis

Acetyl-L-carnitine is a unique amino acid in the human body
L-carnitine supplements are taken by mouth to increase L-carnitine levels in people whose natural level of L-carnitine is too low because they have a genetic disorder, are taking certain drugs (such as valproic acid for seizures or certain antibiotics for tuberculosis), or because they are undergoing a medical procedure (hemodialysis for kidney disease) that uses up the body's L-carnitine
Obesity, a global health concern marked by excessive fat accumulation, has increased fivefold since 1997
