injectable l-carnitine vs pills

yeah you could. dietary l cartinine coming from food seems to have a higher absorption rate than supplements. i can't find a bunch of new information about how much is absorbed from the supplement for but 18% is the max according to the study. you could look forms of l cartinine that are better absorbed like the salt form of l cartinine, l-cartinine-l-tartrate or prodrugs like acetyl l cartinine that may absorb better and be converted to l cartinine in the blood and tissues.

interesting thanks fella
so if i wanted the equivalent of about 500mg injected i could probably take 2.5-3g and it would essentially
be the same thing.
yeah that should probably get you pretty close
The issue with oral L carnitine is the amount you need to take to elicit a positive response might lead to the build up of TMAO.
I have a few years of experience using injectable L carnitine. I have found, as well as others, that it's something that needs to be taken daily at around 350-500mg. This can become a real hassle if you're getting pip from the injection. The end benefit is also rather minimal. If you need that extra 1% then go for it. I prefer a combination of injectable L carnitine and choline pre workout, in the car before walking into the gym. Increase work load capacity and recovery between sets seems to be the main benefit I've noticed.
