L-Carnitine Dosing & Reconstitution Calculator

Add 5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 1000 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 200 mg/mL.

A typical research dose is 1000 mg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.

A 1000 mg vial reconstituted with 5 mL BAC water yields approximately 1 doses at 1000 mg each.

With a 1000 mg vial reconstituted in 5 mL bacteriostatic water, the concentration is 200 mg/mL. For a 1000 mg dose: Volume = 1000 mg ÷ 200 mg/mL = 5 mL. Draw to the 500 line on a 100-unit insulin syringe. You can adjust these values in the ASCEND calculator for any vial size.

A L-Carnitine dosage calculator converts your vial size and BAC water volume into an exact syringe draw in IU. Enter your vial strength (1000 mg), reconstitution volume (5 mL), and target dose to get the precise line to draw on an insulin syringe.

Draw volume (mL) = Dose (mg) divided by Concentration (mg/mL). For a 1000 mg vial with 5 mL BAC water: concentration = 200 mg/mL. For a 1000 mg dose, the ASCEND calculator gives the exact IU line on your syringe instantly.
