Cheers MF.

I bought a ton of the 5ml amps off Ebay. Used it for months and never noticed a thing.

Yeah, I see now that the 'spot reduction' seems related to be an injectable form of L-Carnitine.

Basically L-Carnitine is needed to carry long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria (the components of cells that produce energy), this is then able to be metaboilsed into energy. The heart is a primary organ where this takes place, hence L-Carnitine's importance for being useful in treating heart conditions such as arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, angina etc (this is because fatty acids are the primary source of fuel for the heart). If someone has a deficiency of essential amino acids, is deficient in the co factors iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3 and B6), eats a high fat diet or has poor digestive function/health then that will likely lead to the person also being deficient in L-Carnitine even though it is able to naturally be synthesised in the body.

It's usefulness in terms of bodybuilding tends to be due to the fact that it is lipolytic, it has the ability to improve CV functioning and it can cause an increase in energy producing enzymes.

ive read some stuff on it, hard to say what is bs or not. specifically, i was reaing about lipotropic injections. I was wondering if it would be worth the few hundred for a bottle(seems expensive as hell for what it is.)

Does that mean it works or doesn't?

I ordered some choline and inositol along with some betaine. I noticed that with betaine my hunger is up and I have more energy.

Hey brother
You mean somthing like this-- (links without http and www because I don't havejet 20 post,I can't to post links)

ceva.com.au/Products/Products-list/L-Carnitine-Injection

Personally I think that L-Carnitine does't work.
I live in Europa,in my country gays don't believe in this stuff,and I have few studies about L-Carnitine but with polish language
I found somethink like this

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10861338

Of course injection forms can work a little better,but I don't believe this
Himself I used oral forms at various doses and one what can I say about weight loss -that was weight of money that I spent on it
