will switching to a topical give better results.

10x better results with no risk of stomach issues that I have seen from oral doses. works quicker, better pumps. easy dosing. two pumps is enough for me. I often apply it in the gym lockerroom before a session.

So ive been taking 1g of L-Carnitine Tartarate with my PWO for years now. I will never pin anything so the question then becomes, will switching to a topical give better results.

I understand the debate about oral bioavailability, but im wondering if anyone have been in the same boat and done the switch.

To be frank, i find topicals to be a hassle. But L-carnitine is one of those things id really like to get max effect out of.

Topical L-Carnitine is going to be the closest that you will get to the benefits of the injectable from what people say.

I never got anything at all out of L-Carnitine L-Tartrate when dosing it by itself, but I can definitely tell with L-Carnitine Gel.

1 pump to each top off foot/ankles a good spot to apply?

I'm running out of other spots due to other topicals.

 

[raji1980]

No, you can apply it to those areas if you would like to.

If I'm not mistaken, I think that @Dustin07 applies to a lot of different areas.

I normally do inside of arms and inside of thighs and sometimes traps myself - but that's because I have a long beard so if I applied to my chest it would get in my beard haha.

Ok thanks. Do you know if there is a lot of diffe

I use like 3 topicals on top of each other lol. Shoulder trap area. I just sit in front of a fan 5 to 8 minutes. Since starting this I get extremely sweaty

L-Carnitine Gel is systemic so there shouldn't be a lot of difference in where you apply it.

I don't personally use any on top of one another. I could see there being some overlap the way I plan on doing Napalm Xtreme and Lipoderm Xtreme, but besides that, I don't put any on over the other. It's probably not going to hurt anything, I'm just OCD about stuff like that.

With XPG products, each carrier is customized based on the properties of the individual ingredient(s) so in my mind, that's why I try not to overlap. (But I don't think its the end of the world either) .

That's something I really like about the XPG products is that they apply easy and dry fast and easy.

I have in the past, I don't now but that's just because I almost always wear flip flops and have pets so I don't want any risk of it getting on them. (Although I'm pretty sure a massive tortoise with enhanced endurance from L-Carnitine Gel would be a funny meme haha).

I use inside of arms, inside of thighs, and shoulders mostly. DHEA-50 Gel I do 1 ml on inside of my wrist first thing in the morning.

Tops of feet/ankles are reserved for CurcuPrime Gel for me... but shouldn't be any issues using the L-Carn there. Skin is nice and thin.

I've used the L-Carn gel: on shins, back of calves, back of knees, quads, chest, shoulders, arms... basically whatever random spot is available depending on other TD's I'm using haha, and never noticed a difference in the overall effects.

I do feel like XPG’s topical is MUCH MUCH better than taking L-carn orally
Not on the same league
If you don’t wanna pin, switching from oral to XPG’s gel is a no brainer

Thanks guys, put an order in for a couple of bottles.

there is a strong possibility I am on the spectrum and I have strict routines that I follow because they make sense in my morning process but basically I do this:

exit shower, dry off, and I put in my contact lenses first while my hands are still clean.
apply any TD's I'm using to the areas mentioned. anything that I want a big punch from goes to the shoulders, tops of arms, etc. any secondary "extras" go to feet and ankles. so if I'm feeling spicy and want a little epiandro I'll hit that area with a pump or two to tops of feet and ankles or if I feel like I need more natty punch, alpha gel. but at this point, i still have my oral supps to take, hair gel, coffee to drink, teeth to brush etc and the process of doing these things always ends up being plenty of time for the TD's to dry before I add my socks and under shirt.

that said... like I mentioned if I apply a little xpg carnitine to my shoulders at the gym as i"m getting changed, and focus on putting my shirt on last, its plenty dry by then. it dries pretty dang fast and if its not drying fast enough you might not be spreading it enough.

2-4 pumps spread over shins/tops of feet before you leave for the gym

It’s another level from oral use, not even close to compare them.

I love transdermals, back to the old transdermal prohormone days. Anyways , picked up a bottle and was thinking about spreading it out, 1 pump AM on non workout days, 1 AM and 1 PM (pre workout) on training days. Any thoughts? I’m already on a hefty stack, but read such good feedback about it I wanted to give it a try, and loved the Ursa Gel.

At least two pumps pre-WO. Up to 4 depending on whether you have any other carnitine sources being supplemented, and based on weight.

Seems like people are mainly using it PWO from reading the thread, ie no AM/PM dose. And mostly only on workout days, is that right?

I'm not sure if you know, but the original ph day ph's were made by Avant Labs, and XPG uses the Avant Labs carrier and several of the XPG fat loss products are updated versions of Avant's.

I personally use it daily when running it. You can do the approach that you mentioned there. I usually do 2 and 2, but its personal dependent.

If you are just using it for endurance, you would use it on workout days.

If using it for fat loss, then I would use it daily.

Yeah I loved the Avant carrier it was the gold standard back in the day. I’ve used that with 4AD and other powders. Anyways, good to hear it’s the XPG carrier so I know it’s absorbing well.

I did 1 this morning and 2 before tonight’s workout and could def tell a difference in endurance.

If you remember Avant, then you likely remember the owner, Par?

He's involved with XPG. So if you know him or anything about him, you know the science is spot on.

Yeah for sure Par Deus, Caleb Stone. Top notch stuff. Pretty sure I was taking their Sesathin, Napalm, and Synthe-Size products around early 2000s.

Yep, brilliant guy. As you may remember, he loves the science but not necessarily the public side of things, so XPG gives him the opportunity to do the science and carrier science.

We've brought back FL7 and updated versions of Ab-Solved, Napalm Xtreme, and Lipoderm Xtreme.

Will have to check it all out.

Got a few days 2 pumps PWO. It def helps with endurance even though I was tired. I felt relaxed, good. I forgot I’m getting 1000 mg oral Carn from Lean Edge also. Might keep this low dose everyday and keep it going. Smell is pleasant it dries quickly. Always going with thin skin on inner arms. I’m hoping to get that Nth degree of fat loss since I’m already on a bunch of other performance products.
