Description

(Sterile Amino Acid Solution for Mitochondrial Energy, Fat Metabolism, and Performance Support)

High-Concentration Injectable L-Carnitine for Clinical Use in Energy Optimization and Fat Utilization

L-Carnitine 100 mg/mL – 30 mL is a sterile, preservative-free injectable solution designed for clinical administration to support fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and metabolic performance. Compounded in a compliant sterile environment, this formulation is indicated for intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) administration under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.

L-Carnitine is a conditionally essential amino acid derivative that plays a central role in the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce ATP. Its primary function as a fat metabolism facilitator makes it a widely used compound in weight management, endurance performance, cardiovascular support, and metabolic health programs.

Product Details

• Active Ingredient: L-Carnitine (as L-Carnitine base)

• Concentration: 100 mg/mL

• Volume: 30 mL multi-dose vial

• Formulation: Preservative-free, sterile, non-pyrogenic

• Administration Route: IM or IV (diluted for IV use)

• **Compounded in accordance with USP <797> standards

• Storage: 2–8°C (refrigerated); do not freeze

Mechanism of Action

L-Carnitine facilitates the transport of fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane by binding with acyl-CoA, forming acylcarnitine. This process is vital for:

• Beta-oxidation of fats to produce energy

• Removal of toxic acyl groups from mitochondria

• Regulation of glucose and insulin sensitivity

• Optimization of cellular energy output during high metabolic demand

Its ability to shift the body’s fuel preference toward fat, while sparing glycogen stores, is beneficial for both clinical energy deficiency states and performance enhancement protocols.

Key Clinical Applications

1. Fat Metabolism and Weight Management

By increasing mitochondrial fatty acid transport, L-carnitine promotes the utilization of stored body fat as an energy source, particularly during calorie restriction or physical exertion. It may support:

• Reduction in visceral and subcutaneous fat

• Enhanced lipolysis during exercise

• Support for metabolic inflexibility or plateau states in fat loss programs

2. Athletic Performance and Recovery

In performance-focused settings, L-carnitine has been shown to:

• Improve aerobic capacity and endurance

• Reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery time

• Support lean muscle preservation during cutting phases

• Enhance oxygen utilization and mitochondrial function

3. Cardiovascular Support

L-Carnitine is beneficial in conditions where myocardial energy demand is high or where mitochondrial dysfunction plays a role, including:

• Ischemic heart disease

• Congestive heart failure

• Post-MI recovery

• Angina management (as part of integrative therapy)

4. Neurologic and Metabolic Disorders

It may also serve as adjunctive therapy in:

• Chronic fatigue syndromes

• Diabetic neuropathy

• Insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome

• Age-related mitochondrial decline

Dosing and Administration

• Route: IM injection (preferred for general use), IV infusion (under clinical guidance)

• Typical IM dose: 500–1,000 mg, 1–3 times per week

• IV use: 1–2 grams diluted in compatible carrier solution (e.g., saline), infused over 30–60 minutes

• Dosing frequency is patient-specific and may be adjusted based on clinical response, exercise load, or lab values

Safety and Considerations

L-Carnitine is generally well tolerated when administered properly.

• Side Effects: Mild injection site discomfort, gastrointestinal upset, rare body odor changes

• Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity to carnitine compounds

• Caution in patients with seizure history, as high doses may lower seizure threshold

• Drug Interactions: May enhance effects of thyroid medications and anticoagulants; use clinical discretion

Storage and Stability

• Store at 2–8°C in refrigerator

• Do not freeze

• Use within 28 days of first puncture

• Maintain sterility and aseptic technique throughout use

Ideal Candidates

This compound is suitable for:

• Weight loss patients in medically supervised programs

• Athletes and bodybuilders in cutting or endurance phases

• Fatigue and mitochondrial dysfunction cases

• Individuals undergoing IV nutrient therapy or performance protocols

• Patients with metabolic, cardiac, or insulin-related dysfunctions
