In the gut, carnitine is metabolized to butyrobetaine (GBB), which is subsequently converted to trimethylamine (TMA) by distinct bacterial species [17, 18]

For example, one trial suggests that this supplement may help prevent the progression of Alzheimer's disease in its early stages, but it may worsen symptoms in later stages of the disease
