L-Carnitine Injections - A Learning Experience

The authors are comparing the studies that made their screening cut:

To the ones that did not:

As already shared by another member, this paper only discusses oral adminstration. Not a lot of work on IM/SQ method of administration.

I sit down at my desk and go from the top or the side. Doesn’t hurt, just feels weird. Can make me twitch.

I was afraid to try this. afraid the oil and water won’t mix and will be in a pocket under my skin. until they absorb

I’ve mixed oil (test) and water (HCG) in the same shot without any obvious issues. There’s a post on Excelmale with a YouTube clip.
I thought about putting test and BCP157 in the same shot but decided against as the peptides are meant to be soo fragile it may degrade it?
I plan to do HGH soon and will be looking to do together with the test but will read up a lot more beforehand for the possibly substance interaction rather than the carrier.

TL/DR
It doesn’t appear that the oil and water mix is an issue of itself, but could be depending on what’s being mixed?

LOL. The insulin needles I order have the slogan ā€œcomfort you can feelā€. A nice comfortable needle haha.

I like the 27 gauge 1/2" needles the best out of what I have tried. Smaller than that and filling the syringe becomes to time consuming for me (I am probably a bit impatient).

Bit of a thread resurrection here. I’m crossing the injection barrier with l-carnitine and had some questions. I’m posting here because I don’t know that it’s the same as oil based injecting.

When you guys do shoulders, do you/can you rotate heads of the delts?

Should I try to avoid hitting a muscle right before training it? (especially since this is supposed to be pre-workout)

@Andrewgen_Receptors how did usage end up turning out? Are you still using it?

This is pharmaceutical. I’ve done exactly one injection (ever, not just of l-carnitine) in my front delt (largely because that seemed the easiest place to reach) and didn’t have issues. Virtually no pain. It did take a bit for the feeling of the fluid to go away though and I don’t know that I’d want to train the muscle just after.

At the beginning of the thread you seemed to have issues with subQ. I think I’d rather do that, but are you doing it now because you aren’t using the pharmacy stuff?

The prescription is just .5 ml (250mg) 5 days a week.

I went ahead and tried subcutaneous this morning. It burned quite a bit for a couple minutes, but I didn’t feel it at all after that.

I kinda won the lottery on natural test even at 42. I’m just trying to do everything to maximize what I have, low dose tadalafil and the carnitine.

This is 500mg/ml so it doesn’t seem that different. I also have some pill l-carnitine. The studies I looked at were saturated at 2g orally. I could try loading with that and the standard injection. How long do you load?
