In this video I do a full deep dive on injectable L-carnitine—what it is, how it actually works in your body, and how I personally use it in my own optimization routine. I’ve been using injectable L-carnitine for years, and the longer I use it, the more it’s become one of those quiet, reliable staples I always come back to for energy, performance, and longevity support.


I start by breaking down the basics: L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that shuttles long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be burned for energy. When you think L-carnitine, think mitochondria, ATP, and better fuel utilization. I explain why injectable L-carnitine is so powerful compared to oral—much higher bioavailability, higher plasma levels, and you avoid some of the downsides like elevated TMAO that can show up with long-term, high-dose oral use.


From there, I walk through the human data: improved exercise performance, reduced lactate, better recovery, cardiovascular support, and even a wild study in centenarians showing more muscle, less fat, and better physical function from L-carnitine supplementation. I also talk about cognitive and mood benefits, and why I stack injectable L-carnitine with acetyl-L-carnitine orally for brain health.


I’m honest about side effects and trade-offs: post-injection pain, occasional lumps, and even the “fishy odor” some people notice at higher doses. I share exactly how I dose it (usually 400–500 mg IM before workouts, three to four times per week), why I prefer intramuscular over subcutaneous, and what needle size works best in the real world.


I close by making the case that injectable L-carnitine isn’t a magic fat burner—but it is one of the most useful, versatile tools for anyone who cares about performance, energy, and long-term health.
