Description
L-Carnitine 500mg is a 10mL vial of ready-made L-Carnitine solution at 500mg/mL, so each vial holds 5,000mg in total. L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative, and there’s no powder to reconstitute. It’s for laboratory research only.
About L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is a small molecule the body makes from lysine and methionine, mainly in the liver and kidneys. It carries long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria so they can be burned for energy.
This vial is a ready-made solution at 500mg/mL, so there’s no powder to reconstitute.
How L-Carnitine acts in the lab
Long-chain fatty acids can’t cross the inner mitochondrial membrane on their own. The enzyme CPT1 attaches them to carnitine, a transporter carries the pair across, and CPT2 on the other side frees the fatty acid for beta-oxidation.
Carnitine also takes extra acetyl groups out of the mitochondria as acetylcarnitine, which helps keep the cell’s pool of coenzyme A free.

What the research says about L-Carnitine
Clinical work covers primary and secondary carnitine deficiency, and it’s an approved drug (levocarnitine) for those conditions and for some people on dialysis.
Studies in athletes and on weight are mixed. In the lab it’s a standard tool for studying fat metabolism.
The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search for L-Carnitine studies to start from.
Working with L-Carnitine 500mg
L-Carnitine 500mg arrives as a liquid in a multi-dose vial with a rubber stopper. Wipe the stopper with an alcohol swab before each draw and use a fresh sterile needle every time.
Storing L-Carnitine 500mg
Keep the vial in the fridge at 2 to 8°C, away from light. Once the stopper has been punctured, use it within about 28 days and write the opening date on the label. If the liquid looks cloudy or has particles in it, don’t use it.
L-Carnitine 500mg lab testing and purity
Scroll through the L-Carnitine 500mg photos and you’ll find two Janoshik Analytical test reports. Each one lists the compound found, the measured amount and the HPLC purity, plus the batch number and the date the lab ran it.
L-Carnitine 500mg is sold at a minimum of 99% purity by HPLC. The reports below show the actual figure for each batch tested.
Every Janoshik report has a unique key printed at the bottom. Enter it at janoshik.com/verify and you’ll see the same report straight from the lab, which is the easiest way to know a COA hasn’t been edited. Match the batch on the report with the batch on your label.
