This dose failed to increase her breastmilk carnitine concentration, with a persistently low concentration of 3.4 mg/L (21 micromoles/L) before supplementation and after 18 days of supplementation.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM947.REF.1">1</a>]</p><p>The carnitine concentration was measured in the breastmilk of 27 normal mothers who were not taking carnitine as a supplement. Average carnitine concentrations were 10.1 mg/L over the first 21 days postpartum, which was higher than the maternal serum concentration. The concentration decreased by about 50% by postpartum days 40 to 50. No difference in concentration was found between fore- and hindmilk.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM947.REF.4">4</a>] Another study in normal mothers found a similar average carnitine concentration of 10.6 mg/L.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM947.REF.5">5</a>]</p><p>In a study that followed 37 healthy, nonsmoking mothers who were not taking carnitine as a supplement, carnitine and acetylcarnitine in breastmilk were measured over time. Immediately postpartum, the average milk carnitine concentration was 12.6 mg/L and acetylcarnitine was 5.7 mg/L. From 2 months postpartum to 12 months postpartum, carnitine and acetylcarnitine milk concentrations were lower, in the range of 6.1 to 8.9 mg/L for carnitine and 1.2 to 2 mg/L for acetylcarnitine.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM947.REF.6">6</a>]</p><p>Ten mothers of full-term infants and mothers of preterm infants (36 weeks gestation or less) provided blood and milk samples for measurement of carnitine at 4 times during the first month postpartum. None were taking carnitine as a supplement. In the mothers of full-term infants, total breastmilk carnitine averaged 11.7 mg/L at 2 to 3 days postpartum, 11.8 mg/L at 5 to 7 days postpartum, 11.3 mg/L at 2 weeks postpartum, and 10.5 mg/L at 4 weeks postpartum. About one-third to one-half of the carnitine was free carnitine and the remainder was acetylcarnitine. Breastmilk concentrations were about 50 to 100% greater than simultaneous plasma concentrations. The mothers of preterm infants had higher breastmilk carnitine levels, averaging about 12 mg/L throughout the first month postpartum.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM947.REF.7">7</a>]</p><p>Carnitine and acetylcarnitine were measured in the breastmilk of 14 lactating women who were 1 to 10 months postpartum and not taking carnitine as a supplement. The average milk concentration of free carnitine was 5.9 mg/L and of total carnitine was 7.2 mg/L. Maternal dietary intake of carnitine had no effect on breastmilk carnitine concentrations. The authors estimated that an exclusively breastfed infant would receive about 6 mg daily of carnitine from breastmilk.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM947.REF.8">8</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> A retrospective study of 12,000 (6,000 male and 6,000 female) breastfed neonates in Greece found that carnitine and it various esters in the serum of 3-day-old infants was related to their birth weight. In general, levels of carnitine and its esters increased with increasing birthweight, although the differences between birthweight groups varied by ester.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM947.REF.9">9</a>]</p></div><div id="LM947.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM947.Effects_on_Lactation_and_Breastmil"><h3>Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk</h3><p>Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM947.References"><h3>References</h3><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="LM947.REF.1">Studinski
