Questions about carnitine

Answered with the data on this page

Which carnitine should you buy?
Zumub Acetil L-Carnitina 90 cápsulas from Zumub, with 74 points out of 100 at €0.055/capsule. The mark is 35 % price against the cheapest in the category, 35 % verifiable quality (certification, purity and additives), 20 % the category's own requirements and 10 % the buyers' rating at the store, and no commercial deal moves the ranking.
Which is the cheapest carnitine?
L-Carnitina 2000mg con BioPerine® - Soporte de Energía y Metabolismo - Complejo de Acetil L-Carnitina de Alta Resistencia - 120 Cápsulas Veganas – by Alpha01 from Amazon, at €0.083/capsule (120 capsules pack for 9,99 €). It sits at verification level 1 out of 4. Cheap is not the same as well scored: price is 35 % of the mark and most of the rest is how verifiable its certification is.
How much does a capsule of carnitine cost?
Between €0.083/capsule and €1.466/capsule across the 10 stores compared, with a median of €0.191/capsule. That is the price per capsule, not per pack: two tubs at the same price can cost twice as much as each other depending on what is inside.
What certification should carnitine have?
Of the 93 products compared, 0 reach level 4 (the certification is backed by a third party: either we checked it with the body that issues it, or the product carries in its name a trademark that requires a third party behind it, such as Creapure or IFOS) and 0 reach level 3 (a lab report published by the brand itself). The remaining 93 stop at a certification claimed on the product page, or none at all. Only level 4 is checked against whoever issues the certification.
How much carnitine should you take a day?
The reference dose this site uses for carnitine is 2 g - 4 g a day, with weak evidence. Source: Kerksick CM et al. ISSN exercise & sports nutrition review update: research & recommendations. J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2018;15:38. La L-carnitina aparece entre los suplementos cuya evidencia de mejora del rendimiento o de la perdida de grasa es limitada o mixta; los 2-4 g diarios son la dosis habitual de los estudios, no una dosis eficaz demostrada.. That is the dose of the ingredient in the study cited, not a recommendation for you nor a claim about any product in the table.
