FAQS

L-carnitine is a natural amino acid derivative that’s often taken as a supplement. It is primarily for weight loss and may have a huge impact on brain function.

Taking L-carnitine on a daily basis is completely safe! Even high doses for long periods of time are well tolerated and show only minor side effects like insomnia or stomach upset, which can be easily remedied with over-the-counter supplements.

No! Your doctor may prescribe L-carnitine to treat a health condition but if you want to use injectable L-carnitine for weight loss and/or improve your athletic performance you don't need a prescription. L-carnitine is not a  controlled substance.

One of the most suitable times to take L-carnitine is post-workout, but you can take it with any other meal throughout the day. The reason you take it with a meal is the more insulin you have in your blood the better the absorption of l-carnitine in your muscle to pull in fat as fuel. If you want to stack carnitine with other fat-burning ingredients between meals, consider taking the acetyl L-carnitine form.

The amount of injectable L-carnitine you should take is highly related to your body weight. Typically, the usual dose on the low end is 150 mg to 200 mg per 50 lbs of body weight. So, if you’re 70 kg (155 pounds), then you should inject about 600 mg per day. But you can take way more than this especially if you’re very muscular and live a very active lifestyle. For example, I weigh 225 lbs and inject about 1000 mg to 2000 mg every day.

L-carnitine can be a really effective supplement to help accelerate your overall weight loss process. The main L-carnitine benefit is that it converts fat into pure energy and doesn't allow the fat to get stored inside your body. So, if you begin taking L-carnitine supplements, you will be able to lose weight even without exercise. Especially in a calorie deficit!

Injectable L-carnitine is completely legal in sports and since it boosts your body's ability to burn fat as fuel it greatly increases endurance and improves muscle recovery. This way, they will be able to achieve their high-peak performance.

Taking L-carnitine orally is a great way to increase your intake overall. However, most studies have confirmed that taking L-carnitine in a powder or pill form might cause stomach aches and heartburn over time. Plus, it also has a low absorption rate of 10% to 20%, making it hard to achieve the same great results you get with injectable L-carnitine, which has 100% absorption rate

Buying injectable L-carnitine retail can be very expensive, especially if you’re doing it on a daily basis. Pharmacies can charge $100s of dollars every month. Also, the concentration is very low, about 200 mg/cc, which means you'll need a lot of injections every day. You can make your own injectable L-carnitine at home for less than $20 for a 50 ml bottle and you can make the concentration as high as 750 mg/cc which is over 3 times more potent! Check out my course - it describes how to make your own injectable L-carnitine with just a few simple supplies.

L-carnitine helps move more fatty acids straight to your cells to be burned for extra energy, it's mostly used as a weight loss supplement. One review of 37 studies found that L-carnitine supplementation significantly reduced body weight, body mass index (BMI), and fat mass.

Increasing acetyl-l-carnitine may rapidly decrease inflammation. This brings the benefits straight to the brain and improves the overall quality and length of your sleep.

The answer to this varies from one person to another. In general, it takes a day or two if you take well over 1000 mg per day! The bigger the dose the faster you will feel it.

To be honest I'm just as confused about it as you are… I've been using injectable L-carnitine for years and I only wish I could have found out about it sooner! I lost count of how many times I got compliments about how lean I was, even while going through a "bulking cycle"I still had visible abs. Injectable L-carnitine is one of the best supplements out there and I will continue to use it for as long as I can!
