L-carnitine
Price range: €180.00 through €240.00
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays an essential role in energy metabolism. It acts as a transporter, shuttling long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria where they are burned for fuel. Supplied as lyophilized powder with ≥98% purity (HPLC-verified).
How It Works
L-Carnitine binds to fatty acids and carries them across the mitochondrial membrane. Without sufficient carnitine, fatty acids cannot enter the mitochondria to be oxidized — meaning your body struggles to use stored fat as energy. Supplementing carnitine supports this transport process.
Research Data
- Fat oxidation: Research shows L-carnitine supplementation increases fatty acid oxidation, helping the body use fat stores more efficiently for energy.
- Exercise recovery: Studies indicate reduced muscle soreness and faster recovery after intense exercise, likely by improving blood flow and reducing metabolic waste buildup.
- Body composition: Meta-analyses suggest modest reductions in body weight (approximately 1.3 kg) and body fat percentage with L-carnitine supplementation versus placebo.
- Energy production: By enhancing mitochondrial fatty acid transport, it supports sustained energy levels, particularly useful during calorie-restricted states.
Research Applications
- Mitochondrial fatty acid transport studies
- Exercise metabolism and recovery research
- Body composition and energy balance models
- Lipid metabolism pathway analysis

Community Buzz
L-Carnitine is called “the fat shuttle” — it carries fatty acids into your mitochondria to be burned for energy. Oral bioavailability is poor (5-18%), so the injectable form has a cult following in bodybuilding and biohacking. The unique benefit nobody else offers: it increases androgen receptor sensitivity — meaning your testosterone works better. Users stack it with TRT for amplified effects from the same dose. The classic protocol: inject 30-60 minutes before fasted cardio to maximize fat transport and burning.
Why People Are Interested
- Directly shuttles fat into your cells’ furnaces. During a calorie deficit, it ensures mobilized fat actually gets burned for energy instead of recirculating.
- Makes testosterone work better. Upregulates androgen receptors — a unique benefit among fat-loss compounds.
- Better recovery, less soreness. Improves blood flow and reduces muscle damage markers after training.

All peptide products are supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in sterile glass vials. Lyophilization preserves the peptide's structural integrity and biological activity during transport and storage. The powder must be reconstituted with an appropriate solvent before use in research protocols.
Recommended Solvent
For most peptide research applications, we recommend using Bacteriostatic Water (BAC) — sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic agent. BAC water helps maintain sterility after reconstitution and is suitable for multi-dose research protocols.

Reconstitution Protocol
- Prepare: Clean your work surface and ensure all materials (vial, BAC water, syringes) are handled in a sterile manner.
- Calculate: Determine the desired concentration by dividing the peptide mass (mg) by the volume of BAC water added (mL). For example, adding 2 mL of BAC water to a 5 mg vial yields a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL.
- Reconstitute: Using a sterile syringe, draw the calculated volume of BAC water. Insert the needle through the rubber stopper at an angle and slowly inject the solvent down the inner wall of the vial — avoid directing the stream directly onto the powder to prevent foaming.
- Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial (do not shake) until the powder is fully dissolved. Most peptides dissolve within 1-2 minutes. A clear, colorless solution indicates complete dissolution.
- Aliquot: For long-term use, transfer the reconstituted solution into sterile aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the original vial.
Post-Reconstitution Storage
- Store reconstituted peptide solution at 2-8°C for short-term use (up to 7 days).
- For extended storage, aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- Always label aliquots with peptide name, concentration, date, and storage conditions.
Note: The optimal solvent and reconstitution protocol may vary depending on the specific peptide and research application. Researchers should consult peptide-specific literature for solubility guidance.
