Description
L-Carnitine 500mg is a 10mL vial of ready-made L-Carnitine solution at 500mg/mL, so each vial holds 5,000mg in total. L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative, and there’s no powder to reconstitute. It’s for laboratory research only.
What is L-Carnitine?
L-carnitine is a small molecule the body makes from lysine and methionine, mainly in the liver and kidneys. It carries long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria so they can be burned for energy.
This vial is a ready-made solution at 500mg/mL, so there’s no powder to reconstitute.
L-Carnitine mechanism of action
Long-chain fatty acids can’t cross the inner mitochondrial membrane on their own. The enzyme CPT1 attaches them to carnitine, a transporter carries the pair across, and CPT2 on the other side frees the fatty acid for beta-oxidation.
Carnitine also takes extra acetyl groups out of the mitochondria as acetylcarnitine, which helps keep the cell’s pool of coenzyme A free.

What the research says about L-Carnitine
Clinical work covers primary and secondary carnitine deficiency, and it’s an approved drug (levocarnitine) for those conditions and for some people on dialysis.
Studies in athletes and on weight are mixed. In the lab it’s a standard tool for studying fat metabolism.

Working with L-Carnitine 500mg
L-Carnitine 500mg arrives as a liquid in a multi-dose vial with a rubber stopper. Wipe the stopper with an alcohol swab before each draw and use a fresh sterile needle every time.
Storing L-Carnitine 500mg
Keep the vial in the fridge at 2 to 8°C, away from light. Once the stopper has been punctured, use it within about 28 days and write the opening date on the label. If the liquid looks cloudy or has particles in it, don’t use it.
L-Carnitine purity and COA
L-Carnitine 500mg is sold at 99% purity or better, measured by HPLC. That figure is the minimum for every batch we ship, not a best case.
Each vial is labeled with the compound, the amount and a batch number. The certificate of analysis is filed under that batch number, so if you need the COA for your records, email us the number on your label and we’ll send it.
If a result in your own work looks off, check the batch number first, then how the vial was stored. Most problems with L-Carnitine come from storage or handling, not the solution itself.
What you need with L-Carnitine 500mg
L-Carnitine 500mg is ready to draw, so all you need on the bench is sterile syringes, alcohol swabs and space in the fridge. Our vial case holds up to ten vials upright, which helps once you have a few open at once, and the vial opener takes the flip-off cap off without a fight.
