    Default injectable carnitine homebrew

    hi everyone,

    iv been wondering a lot about carnitine injections lately and checked out some online sources that ship to the uk it costs around £50 for 100ml at 200mg/ml now I can buy the pure powder for £10 for 250 grams! so why should I part with £50 of my hard earned money when it should in theory be easy enough to suspend this stuff in water or oil ( id prefer oil) by my self so my plan is to hopefully next weekend attempt a experimental batch of injectable l carnitine I'm struggling to find much info on this so I'm going to pretend I'm making a batch of test and see what happens hopefully nothing bad lol I'm sorry if this is the wrong section as its not a steroid but wasn't sure where best to put this.

    if any of you guys have any input or experience on this matter id love to hear it

    I am curious as well.............also curious if you can find a company that will sell powder in a pure form 99.9% ( 3rd party tested). I am assuming that this powder comes from china, which always scared me when we talk purity and also when you start injecting it.

    My HRT doc sold injectable L-Carnitine. I tried Acetyl L-Carnitine. NOT TOXIC ! Just pull out pH paper and the 0.9% bact H20 AND 0.9% normal saline WITH added 0.9% sterile BA. Guess what the pH paper was BRIGHT RED ! THAT MEANS IT'S STRONGLY ACIDIC. It would need and alkaline buffer. TThat's it. Granted L-Carnitine was the subject. There is lots of vet supply houses that have it and Cardispan is used by lots of Folks.
    PS the acetyl L carnitine BURNED LIKE HELL !

    I'll be doing mine using L carnitine or L Carnitine tartrate. Do not use the acetyl. Distilled water and 0.9 ba. It will probably sting a little but nothing unbearable. Otherwise use 1-2% lidocaine.

    Injectable Carnitine is gaining in popularity in recent months. At least from what i have read and seen online so i am bumping this thread on compounding formula for carnitine injections to see if anyone else has been using it, or has a better formula / recipe

    I just tried to do distilled h20 and 1% BA. 20grams of regular l-carnitine. Mixed in powder and h20. Swirled-/shook. Added the BA. Was a little cloudy at this concentration (500mg/ml) and I thought it wasn’t all dissolved. I kept examining it and it did look like it was all in solution (no powder settling at bottom of jar). So I filtered using syringe filter (.22 micron I used) and the final solution looked just like the unfiltered version. Cloudyish/opaque (kinda like fog) I examined filter and it looked like it didn’t filter out the l-carnitine (wasn’t packed full of white crystals or anything other than small pieces of debris.). There is hardly any pip but I don’t know if I have a high tolerance for Pip bc tear prop doesn’t give me much pip. Please comment if this seems like it needs tweaking or is just completely crap lol. Thanks! Hope this helps someone.

    Did you ever end up trying it. I made last night and it came out cloudy as well. Distilled water and carnitine mixed fine. But as soon as I added the BA and stir. It went cloudy . Just wondering if it's safe to use

    Carnitine should be crystal clear. Think about it like this, injectable Carnitor is often given to those on dialysis. It comes as: 1gm/5mL and clear.

    Carnitine is VERY hydrophilic... leave it sit on your counter for a day during the summer and it'll become a little mushy in some area's... or just put some in your palm for a few minutes.

    It needs to be pH balanced: 6-6.8

    Sodium Hydroxide or HCl accordingly. Add the BA before as it will throw off the pH.

    I should add- if you didn't have pain at 500mg/mL, then it probably wasn't correct. 400mg/mL can have quite a sting if not pH balanced.

    I redid last night. heated distilled water then I added the BA. Mixed mixed. All good. Then added the l-carnitine. Mixed again. Crystal clear. Filters and into 100ml vial. Looks perfect. The BA and DW was not mixing at my room temp . Has a pH of between 7 and 8 from the test this morning

    l-car is one of the most under-rated and underused supplements a BB can use, on and off season.

    Only use a digital pH meter, not paper (don't know if you did or not).

    You want to LOWER the pH, so you need to make it MORE acidic. Get some HCl. Put DROPS in it, stir well, re-test pH. It doesn't take much to lower it, especially if only 100mL. one drop at at time.

    [COLOR=var(--yt-spec-text-primary)]I made this last night for the 1st time. Looks nice and clear, although fluid seemed kinda thick, and was drawing very slow through 29g insulin syringe. Much slower than hgh. Is this normal?

    Sorry couldn't edit last post. So I homebrewed the l-carnitine last night. 20ml- Came out crystal clear, although seemed a bit thick when trying to draw and got nervous, aborting injection. I use hgh regularly and it draws easily. Does this seem unusual? Recipe I followed was 10.1 gram l-carnitine and 12.5 bacteriostatic water for 500mg/ml- 20ml total. --

    I experimented with making some batches and was quite impressed of how easy it was to make!
    I made 500mg/ml concentration of L-carnitine (sourced the raw powder from purebulk). I made a vial with distilled water + acetic acid, one vial with distilled water and 0.1BA , and another one with serum water (NACL).
    They all mix well and stay that way. The only one i dropped was the acetic acid but its stings post injection lol but its probably because i didnt dilute it enough i think. The one with water+Ba and the one with regular NACL worked like a charm!

    so here it is... the all sought for secret recipe. Stop getting ripped of for this compound!
