Capsules
L-carnitine capsules have the advantage that they are easy to take and you don’t have any problems with the dosage. Depending on which product you buy, you have a certain amount of L-carnitine per capsule and can thus easily control your daily dosage. As a rule, the capsules should be taken with sufficient water.
Compared to L-carnitine in the form of capsules or powder, liquid L-carnitine is the form of dietary supplement that is absorbed by the body most quickly. In the case of capsules and tablets, athletes should take the supplement a while before training, as it takes longer to be absorbed by the body than the liquid form. However, capsules are usually somewhat cheaper than the ampoules with liquid L-carnitine, so that everyone has to decide for himself whether he wants cheaper L-carnitine, but that he has to take something before training, or more expensive L-carnitine in liquid form, but that again works quickly.
L-Carnitine Liquid
In addition to the many available dosage forms of L-carnitine, such as powder or capsules, L-carnitine in liquid form, then in liquid consistency, is a popular dosage form of L-carnitine. The liquid is available in ampoules, which usually contain around 25ml of liquid. In addition to the L-carnitine itself, the food supplements offered in liquid form also contain other substances.
These ingredients typically include acidifiers, preservatives, sweeteners and flavors. Depending on the brand, L-carnitine in liquid form contains different amounts of the active ingredient L-carnitine. In most cases, one vial contains about one to two grams.
The manufacturers of L-Carnitin Liquid recommend consuming the liquid about half an hour to an hour before exercise so that the highest concentration of L-Carnitin in the body is present when the tissue in the body is most likely to show a deficiency of the substance. The disadvantage of the dosage form of Liquid is the higher price and shorter shelf life compared to other available products of other dosage forms. In addition, the taste and feeling in the mouth is often perceived as unpleasant by the Liquid.
It is also necessary to store the liquid in a cool place, otherwise the shelf life is significantly reduced. Compared to the powder, the liquid offers the advantage that the dosage quantity is always constant. Due to the ready-to-eat form of the ampoules, the Liquid also offers the possibility to carry the food supplement with you during sports activities.The contents of the ampoules can also, unlike the powder and the available capsules, be drunk easily without the need to mix the mass with milk or water beforehand, as is the case with the powder, and without the need for water to “rinse down” the capsules. Moreover, swallowing capsules is not for everyone, which is why L-Carnitine in the form of Liquid is a pleasant alternative for many athletes.
