L-carnitine is a chemical mafe in the brain, liver, and kidneys. It helps the body turn fat into energy. L-carnitine is important for heart and brain function, muscle movement, and many other body processes. The body can convert L-carnitine to other chemicals called acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine.

Also called cobalamin.

Thiazide diuretics reduce calcium excretion by the kidneys and may increase risk for hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and possible renal failure.
