Peptide of the Week: L-Carnitine – Fat Burning, Mitochondrial Energy & Performance Boost

Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas break down the powerhouse fat-burner L-Carnitine a staple compound for anyone looking to use stored fat as energy, improve endurance, and enhance performance.

If you’re already grinding in the gym but want more from your stack this is your next step. L-Carnitine acts like “ketosis in a bottle,” helping your body tap into fat stores without needing to be fully keto. It shuttles fatty acids directly into the mitochondria to be burned as clean energy, without draining muscle or spiking your nervous system.

We cover:

🔥 How L-Carnitine works to prioritize fat as fuel even if you're not in ketosis

🏋️ Why it's a game-changer for endurance, performance, and fat loss

💉 Oral vs. injectable and why liquid L-Carnitine is mostly a gimmick

⚠️ Who should NOT take it (especially anyone on T3 or thyroid meds)

💪 Stacking suggestions: pair with 5-Amino-1MQ and Retatrutide for amplified results

⚙️ JD’s personal protocol and pinning experience why daily injections can be worth it

📦 Mixing with TRT or intramuscular injections: what works, what doesn’t

🧬 Why injectable L-Carnitine is bioavailable and superior to over-the-counter versions

💊 HCL vs Monohydrate Creatine bonus breakdown performance insight that stacks well with Carnitine

💡 Whether you’re deep into a fat loss phase or just want clean, efficient energy L-Carnitine is a simple yet potent addition to your peptide arsenal.

⚠️ Peptides are amino acid chains. Not steroids. Not shortcuts. Just science that works when paired with discipline.
