Injectable L-carnitine is becoming increasingly popular in Italy and Europe: but how is it used? How much should I take?

Over the past calendar year, both on this website and in our laboratories, we have noticed a dramatic increase in interest and orders from our users and customers for injectable L-carnitine. While this product was previously very popular among competitive athletes in the United States, it is now being used more and more at all levels in Europe and Italy as well. The purpose of this article is not to explain what injectable L-carnitine is used for or why it’s better than the oral version (for that, please refer to the“Injectable L-Carnitine”technical data sheet), but rather to respond to the thousands of people who ask us,“How do you use injectable L-carnitine?” by providing precise instructions and protocols.

Various applications for injectable L-carnitine.

Before choosing your dosage and protocol, you need to think about why you want to use injectable L-carnitine. There are various applications, as L-carnitine can be used to burn fat more effectively, improve performance, regenerate androgen receptors, and can be used in an "agonistic" manner or simply as a general aid.

Injectable L-carnitine for burning fat

If you are a competitive athlete in the definition phase, it is advisable to backload injectable L-carnitine for the first 10 days with 30-40mg of product per kilogram of body weight per day. An athlete weighing 80kg should therefore take 2400-3200mg of L-carnitine daily (divided into several injections) for the first 10 days. After 10 days, the athlete can lower the dose to 20-25mg per kilogram.

PLEASE NOTE:

• This protocol is only for competitive athletes or experienced and determined sportspeople.
• There is no cycle length: injectable L-carnitine can be used as much and as often as desired.
• This protocol also covers the requirements for future protocols. It not only burns fat but also facilitates energy and regenerates receptors.

If you are not a competitive athlete or only want to make marginal use of the fat-burning benefits of injectable L-carnitine, we recommend following the same protocol but at 20mg per kg during the loading phase and 10-15mg per kg during the maintenance phase.

At this stage, it is important to inject L-carnitine before training and cardiovascular activity, after you have eaten something (L-carnitine needs insulin to enter the bloodstream). Use during the loading phase, even on rest days. Avoid using injectable L-carnitine before going to bed, as it can disturb sleep.

L-Carnitine Injectable is NOT intended to compensate for poor diet. Do not use it if you think you can eat whatever you want without any problems.

Injectable L-carnitine to improve performance

L-Carnitine is generally known to optimize metabolism and stimulate physical and mental performance (especially our version for sale: Acetyl L-Carnitine Injectable). For this purpose, we recommend using the product at a dose of 600mg (at least) before training. If you train more than once a day or do cardiovascular activities, the same rule applies: 600mg before each session. On rest days, it is not necessary to take it. In this case, you will also optimize the use of fats as an energy source, but nothing as significant as in the previous protocol.

Injectable L-carnitine to sensitize receptors

If you are between cycles, about to start a cycle, or have been on a cycle for some time, L-carnitine can help restore sensitivity in the receptors to make the most of the hormones you are taking. In this case, a constant intake of 200-300mg per day is sufficient, regardless of whether you are training or not. We recommend continuing to take L-carnitine even during your cycle to optimize receptor response and delay saturation. If you are already on one of the above protocols, you already have enough L-carnitine in your body to resensitize your receptors and do not need this type of intake.

Various things to know:

• Oral and injectable L-carnitine contain the same active ingredient, but oral absorption is 10 times lower.
• To optimize the use of injectable (and non-injectable) L-carnitine, you need a minimum amount of insulin in your blood, so always eat something before injecting the product or, in any case, do not use it too far between meals.
• L-Carnitine injections BURN! Like vitamin B12, the injection burns a little, but it's a very temporary burning sensation.
• Be sure to inject L-carnitine into the muscle and not subcutaneously, or it could be very irritating (due to the aforementioned burning sensation).
• Apart from the loading phase, there is no cycle time for L-carnitine. You can use it every day for months on end.
• Do not inject high doses of L-carnitine late in the evening, as the stimulating and energizing effect could interfere with your sleep.
