Separately, L-carnitine (LC) and vitamin E (VE) are known to offer a different set of health benefits, but together, they can improve immune function. A study published in the journal Toxicon found that the combination of these two nutrients can boost the immune system despite the immunosuppressive effects of the mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OA).
The researchers concluded that taking vitamin E and L-carnitine can help overcome the immunosuppressive effects of ochratoxin A.
