Hey y'all I've used L-car a few times in the past and I've had pip here and there, but I'm trying a new source this time and it burns to even inject. Just wondering if it's just this vial or if others have experienced this? I've tried warming it up, diluting it with bac in syringe, injecting im and subq which still hurts like a mofo. I'm not sure if it has to do with the ph, but it literally feels like fire water when I'm injecting it and the burning sensation doesn't subside for a few hours.

My assumption is the ph balance is off
When i brewed mine at 500mg/ml it was smooth with zero pip at all
What mg/ml is your l-carnitine? I believe 500mg is usually the sweet spot and tends to be smoother than the higher 600mg+ depending on brewer of course

its 600mg/ml. I've done 200 and 600 before and I expect some pip from 600mg. I just never experienced a burning sensation to even inject though. Literally feels like i'm injecting a hot rod that stings anything that it touches.

I'd say its not brewed properly.
Either dilute it to like 400mg/ml or dump it.
If it pips at 400 I'd dump it and try for a refund..
Also try different sites, glutathione and carnitine sucks the most (for me) in quads.

Can’t you get some sterile sodium bicarbonate and test strips to bring the pH up towards 7…?

He'd probably need to go the opposite.
It's too base, he needs acidic.
Diluting it with BAC will drop the pH down from >8-9 to 7 via reduced concentration and BAC is acidic. But if it pips at 300-400mg/ml I think he's better off just replacing it.
thanks for the input, i'll try again. I'm ngl the vial stopper looks like it's going to explode any second. It's kind of like there is too much air in it, but i definitely drained it out. I mean the smell of it being fishy isn't too abnormal ig, but it's mainly the texture of it in my fingers. It's not like the other l-car I've had, it's kinda sticky. I'm gonna order some ph test strips to confirm a few things first, but considering that I did 1ml bac and 1ml carnitine in the syringe and it still hrurt just as bad I don't think the diluting will make that big of a diff.

The higher the concentration the stickier and fishier the smell.

So since this thread, I’ve gone through a whole 20mL bottle of L-Carn 600mg/mL from a premade source.
Uh, had to go IM because subq gelt like FIRE and had swollen pip.
So, IM GV or Glute. Still kinda burned sometimes depending on how close I was to a nerve. (Yeah, I’m getting better)
And the GV still feels a bit bruised a couple days after.
That said, took me about 15 days to go through the 20mL, and I believe it helped me burn some fat off. Dropped like 4-5 lbs over those days. So… aside from all the pain, and “how do I brew this?” … are we all thinking it works?

I've used it in the past and I can't say if it's helped me burn more fat since I'm on gh with fasted cardio and if it does by how much. The only thing I've noticed was that I can do more reps and I feel better with it on leg days. Also in regards to pip, this was the first time I've had pip and it wasn't injectable at all for me.
