L-Carnitine (LC-600)
L-Carnitine (LC-600) is a weight management peptide used in evidence-based, physician-supervised protocols. Use for patients with documented carnitine deficiency, exercise performance enhancement, or as adjunct to fat-loss protocols.
What is L-Carnitine (LC-600)?
L-Carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation. High-dose injectable bypasses GI absorption limits (~25% oral bioavailability vs. near-100% IM). Supports energy production, reduces exercise-induced muscle damage.
Uses & clinical decision logic
Use for patients with documented carnitine deficiency, exercise performance enhancement, or as adjunct to fat-loss protocols. IM route preferred for maximum efficacy.
