megadosing L-carnitine

[kingdong]

Carnitine is one of those amino's that should do a lot, but it's L form has low bioavailability. Has anyone tried high dosed L-carnitine to see if it matches the effects of things like PLCAR and GPLC?

[Steveoph]

There's good reading out there on intaking L-Carnitine with either insulin, or large carb doses to spike insulin. Insulin is key in getting the L-Carnitine inito the mitochondria where we want it; you should be able to find a full via google.

I'd be more interested in seeing someone mega-dose l-carnitine l-tartrate.

x2!!! i have been thinking of alcar/lclt/gplc all at 3 grams 2xday.

Would be costly....but probably very effective in terms of recovery.

with the increased androgen receptor density, dont forget to run a test booster with it! when i ran LCLT with just some 6 bromo the effects were greatly amplified, that and some divanyl would rock with this stack!

exactly. i ran alcar/plcar/lclt at 3g twice a day for a couple of months. it took like a week to two to kick in, but the recovery aspect was incredible once it kicked in. I always dosed it on an empty stomach with 5-10g of amino acids, or a small shake. got the idea from a blurb i read at beverly ints website re:quadracarn... taking a break now, prime/intrabolic is taking care of my recovery issues now, but have a lot of carnitine bulk powders so I will be running this again.

i added lclt to my 200mg weekly test cyp on advice of andrew, it definitely spiked my aggression and feeling of alpha male. felt the difference within a few days of 3gram dosing.

I enjoyed mega-dosing carnitines......until I developed TMAU. This is more common than you might think. It isn't fun going to the gym or work with FOS.

I love ALCAR, the effects just don't last very long. I've read that if your going to dose L-C high, you better dose plenty of antioxidants.

I used this stack and damn it The Mental Focus is INSANE!!!

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate
L-Carnitine Fumerate
Acetyl L-Carnitine

agreed!!!

Does GPLC exert the same effects as LCLT regarding receptor up regulation? If so, I would simply stick with GPLC as it has an affinity to flex its efficaciousness muscle... within the muscles

Being specific to muscle tissue, increasing endurance and blood flow/pumps, if GPLC could also impart the same androgen receptor modulation and amplification I can't see why anyone would begin an AAS cycle or train at all for that matter, without running GPLC concurrently.

Can you elaborate please?

I was under the impression that LC in all forms exhibited some intrinsic anti oxidant activity in and of itself? Why the increased demand and necessity for supplemental AO's?

although all the carnitines are related, it appears that they all have different effects. lclt from what i have read is the only carnitine with effect on androgen receptor, but at the same time alcar is recommended for bent penis, lol.

some guy on here said that after megadosing L-carninite his sweat smelled like a dead fish. just throwing it out there

[flightposite]

yeah^^^ thats what sonic was saying. (TMAU)

[Royd The Noyd]

I think the LCLT androgen receptor up-regulation study is quite flawed. Well maybe not flawed but taken out of context. The studies on recovery are however quite good and seem consistent (although mostly done by Volek/UCONN).

tell us more on why the study is flawed. i have been on trt since 8/28/09 and when i use lclt my test cyp has noticeable increased kick to it.
