Overview
L-Carnitine shuttles fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation. The injectable form (often called L-Carnitine Tartrate) bypasses the terrible oral bioavailability of plain carnitine — that’s the whole reason to pin it.
Preparation
Recon: 200 mg vial + 2 mL BAC (100 mg/mL).
Protocol
| Period | Dose | Units (@ 100 mg/mL) | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 50 mg | 50 units (0.50 mL) | 1x/day |
| Weeks 3–12 | 100 mg | 100 units (1.00 mL) | 1x/day |
Cycle
8–12 week cycles. Pre-workout or pre-cardio timing pairs it with the training session it’s meant to fuel.
