They are given as intramuscular injections, usually in the upper arm
Considering the evidence addressing the ameliorating effects of either L-carnitine or biotics on metabolic indices, also the reports addressing higher efficacy of concomitant supplementation versus single-therapies, this clinical trial was conducted to assess the effects of L-carnitine + multi-species/multi-strain synbiotic combined supplementation compared to L-carnitine mono-therapy on atherogenic-indices, body composition, visceral obesity, and appetite sensations in 46 metabolically healthy women with obesity, randomly assigned to co-supplementation (L-carnitine-tartrate (2 500 mg/dl) + synbiotic (one capsule/day)) or mono-therapy (L-carnitine-tartrate (2 500 mg/dl) + maltodextrin (one capsule/day)) groups for 8 weeks
Evidence comparison: TB-500 has a more extensive preclinical evidence base for systemic tissue repair, including corneal wound healing, cardiac repair, and neurological recovery
After 8 to 12 hours without food, insulin levels are at their lowest
