WHAT IS IT
L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative responsible for transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce energy. It is widely used for:
- Fat burning: Enhances lipid metabolism by converting fats into usable energy.
- Recovery support: Reduces muscle soreness and promotes faster recovery post-exercise.
- Strength enhancement: Improves explosive performance during workouts.
Given that exercise can deplete carnitine levels, supplementation is often recommended. Research suggests that L-carnitine absorption improves when taken in the presence of elevated insulin levels.
HOW TO USE
- Administration:
L-Carnitine can be injected intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SubQ). - Dosage:
The recommended starting dose is 400 mg daily, with the option to increase based on individual needs. Maintaining a regular injection schedule is key to sustaining effective levels in the body. - Optimal Timing:
For improved absorption, it is best to administer L-Carnitine during elevated insulin states, which can be achieved by:- Consuming approximately 90 grams of simple carbohydrates, or
- Injecting 7 to 10 IU of fast-acting insulin subcutaneously (under medical supervision).
STORAGE
