L-Carnitine (200mg): 200 mg vial with 2 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 200 mg L-Carnitine (200mg) vial gives 100 mg/mL (100000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 1000 mcg. A 1 mg dose is 1 units (0.01 mL), and the vial holds about 200 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 200 mg L-Carnitine (200mg)
- Bacteriostatic water: 2 mL
- Concentration: 100 mg/mL (100000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 1000 mcg
L-Carnitine (200mg) dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 mcg (protocol dose) | 0.5 units, too small to measure reliably | 0.005 mL | 400 |
| 1 mg | 1 units | 0.01 mL | 200 |
| 1.5 mg | 1.5 units | 0.015 mL | 133 |
| 2 mg | 2 units | 0.02 mL | 100 |
| 2.5 mg | 2.5 units | 0.025 mL | 80 |
| 5 mg | 5 units | 0.05 mL | 40 |
| 7.5 mg | 7.5 units | 0.075 mL | 26 |
| 10 mg | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 20 |

Common questions
How many units is 1 mg of L-Carnitine (200mg) from a 200 mg vial with 2 mL water?
1 mg is 1 units (0.01 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 2 mL of water in a 200 mg vial, each unit holds 1000 mcg. For comparison: 1.5 mg = 1.5 units, 2 mg = 2 units, 2.5 mg = 2.5 units.
What is the concentration of a 200 mg L-Carnitine (200mg) vial mixed with 2 mL of water?
200 mg divided by 2 mL is 100 mg/mL, or 100000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 1000 mcg per unit.
How many 1 mg doses are in a 200 mg vial?
About 200. The water volume changes how many units each dose takes, not how many doses the vial holds.
How much water should I add to a 200 mg L-Carnitine (200mg) vial?
The Crestigen L-Carnitine (200mg) protocol uses 3 mL. 2 mL works too as long as you calculate units for this concentration (100 mg/mL) and label the vial.
