L-Carnitine injections


I have been using L-Carnitine tabs for about 3 mths now and have found results but i have heard that injecting L-Carnitine is a better way to deliver it. I just wanted to know if anybody knows if this is true and if so how to use it when injecting?

I've not heard of this, I cant see why someone would really want to bother to go to the hassle of injecting it. Tabs are fine......not gonna be much difference I wouldn't have thought.

Try not to inject air by mistake in your veins and cause them to burst

I think you can inject it into the muscle and it still works but i just don't know how much or what type of needle etc...

Honestly I think a person would have to be quite stupid and unwilling to train hard to actually poke themselves with any types of needles
So sign up for a gym take some protein or any supplements if needed!

Training will get you there!

Injecting L-carnatine works for fat loss, much better than oral delivery. Let me look around for proper dosing and inject procedures.

Using L-carnitine via IM injection: L-carnitine is an indespensible tool in the fat loss process. It is responsible for the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy, as such enabling the athlete to lose bodyfat. The amount of body fat the athlete loses is directly related to the amount of fatty acids transported to the mitochondria. As such, an athlete will only burn as much bodyfat as is being transported by the L-carnitine, irrespective of the amount of fat loss aids that person might be taking.

Usual dose is 400 to 800 mg per day.
