If the LDL is a coincidence, but depending on your gut microbiome or your microbiota, some microbiome beneficial bacteria will convert carnitine and also choline. So any choline precursor like Alpha-GPC or phosphatidylserine, it'll will convert them more or less to TMAO. So TMAO is something that you can get measured in a blood test and see if it's high or low. Some people might not even need allicin. - Interesting. - Some people do benefit from it. - Interesting, although I think it was you that also told me that allicin in garlic can have positive effects on cardiovascular tone and blood flow generally. Is that right? - Yeah. - Okay. So is 600 milligrams garlic an excessive amount or can I just eat garlic? - You can just eat- - I mean, I like eating garlic. - Yeah. - Yeah. So, okay, so one could also just eat garlic. If one were going to take L-carnitine in injectable form, how much of that is bioavailable? - 100% if you inject it.
