Talk:Levocarnitine

In my opinion merging the two will be counter productive. Levocarnitine is what it is and nothing you or I can do can change that. L-Carnitine is a consumer and health supplement that is found in shops around the world under that name. As a consumer I would not have come to look for 'Levocarnitine' I came and looked for L-carnitine, if this was not there I would have clicked away and looked elsewere. Furthermore, I come to Wikipedia to obtain facts (of a kind) that steer me in the right direction. By merging Levocartinine with L-cartinine you would simply have given what sounds like a pharmacuetical drug precident over a fundamental amino-acid that is critical in some instances.It is my submission that the facts of its biochemical nature must be preserved and not merged with a levocarnitine which at first blush sounds like a pharmacuetical drug. -- I agree. They are different. -- Freebytes


 * A simple redirect takes care of the problem of "not finding" L-carnitine. If it's essentially calling the same thing by two different names, which seems to be the case. I agree that no information should be lost in a merge - "the facts about it's biochemical nature must be preserved".  My vote is for merging. Intersofia 22:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
