This is a question for medical people.
If you were going to get an l-carnitine injection what would the process be of going about it? WADA has all of these rules about not being able to inject more than 50ml per 6 hours. I think you would inject less than that.
But is it just a shot? Or do you hook up an IV and keep it less than 50ml (which is less than 2 ounces)?
Just curious how this works in practice. How difficult it is to do?
You link is to an over the counter (OTC) sports drink. Injections require a medical practitioner to administer them.
Wejo, you'll find some interesting comments about injecting l-carnitine on the following body building forum.

Such as, "used it two weeks pre contest and it literally melted any fat in his abdominal problem areas. he used it in several insulin pin injections all over his stomach and said he could actually feel fat melting away. it was quite uncomfortable he said and there was some swelling the next day, but ill be damned if he didnt lose a noticeable amount of fat in less time than ive ever seen it done..."

So the injectable version is better? how much better? and how expensive is it?
ouch, that's a lot of injections.

I think it is clear the injectable version is better or isn't worse than the drinkable version. If the drinkable version worked the company making the stuff would still be in business.
Now there is a chance the injectable doesn't work either.
I don't get the .50ml per 6 hour limit. So you can do injection after injection of something and it is legal but if you do too much in 6 hours it is not?
Really, wejo, you should be asking your good friend radcliffe these questions about injections and iv drips. Guarantee that she'll have the answers.
I can't answer your question, but one comment.
Not all injections are IV (intravenous - into the circulatory system). You can also have IM (intramuscular - like your flu shot) and sub-q (sub-cutaneous - right under the skin - like many insulin shots).
This has been bothering me, because I'm reading a lot of "WADA prohibits injections," but I believe that WADA only prohibits IV injections, not all injections.
Of course, blood doping would be an IV injection.
I think suppositories are the way to go.
For safety purposes alone, you'd probably want a physician to inject it , if it's needed at all.
Anyway, looks like in this 1994 study it was taken orally:
go to the saladbar
ask for rupp-certification
