I was just wondering how long can an unopened vial of L carnitine last if stored properly?

I honestly don't have a answer but I have had a 100ml bottle about 2 years ago that i used over the course of a year. So I know about a year is safe for that specific brand (which no longer exists).

Here's the thing tho, every source is gonna make it a little different with sterilization, bac water vs. Mct oil, filtration ect.

Currently I'm using real peptides 500mg/ml carn and it's gonna last me about 3 months total so we can see how that goes. Things made in water make me a little more nervous then oil.

How long has yours been open?

I have an additional vial from real as well. Bought 2 months ago and haven't opened it yet. I hear you on water based products.

When in doubt with anything injectable, I like to take a tiny 0.1 or 0.2 ml shot shallow in the glute, 1/2in max. If something goes wrong it's a tiny amount near the surface on a area no1 will likely be starring at unless you be stripping in the evenings lol. With carn it might burn a bit but the following day if it hasn't gotten red or swollen it's probably fine.

I'm not saying this is fool proof or a great idea, it's just what I do when I get a new source or open a new vial of anything. Or if something I didn't use up and saved for another cycle. I got 1/2 trena and 1/2 tren e that I used like a year or 2 ago. IL probably use them next summer. IL filter them and test it like I mentioned above

Same kind of idea, i've been "home brewing" my carnitine - each new batch I will take .25ml and shoot it somewhere fatty. Figure if it gets infected, better to cut out a chunk of my glute than my entire arm lol

With that, I don't store it great. A 20ml vial stays in my bathroom bag since I travel (bathroom = humidity) and it will be there for 20+ days, longer if I make an extra vial because I'm going to be gone for longer than my current vial has left.

I just make it with BAC water, about 500-600mg/mL.
