Your body already knows how to burn fat. L-carnitine helps it do the job. This naturally occurring amino acid derivative is the transport system that moves fatty acids into your mitochondria to be used as fuel. Kora's program delivers pharmaceutical-grade L-carnitine by injection twice a week, the natural partner to a GLP-1 plan, a training block or both.
What is L-carnitine and why does it matter?
L-carnitine is a compound your body makes and gets from food, mainly red meat. It carries fatty acids into your mitochondria so they can be burned for energy.
What are the potential benefits of L-carnitine injections?
Patients explore L-carnitine with their provider to support fat metabolism, energy, endurance and recovery. Experiences vary.
What is the difference between oral L-carnitine and injections?
Oral L-carnitine supplements are absorbed poorly and inconsistently. An injection bypasses the digestive system for reliable, predictable delivery.

Our L-Carnitine program is designed to help your body use fat for fuel, power your workouts and protect the strength you're building.
Losing weight is one goal. Losing it while keeping your energy, your strength and your drive is the real one. L-carnitine is the shuttle that moves fat into your cells' engines to be burned. Pair it with a GLP-1, a training plan or both, and make every effort count for more.
All medications are dispensed through state-licensed partner pharmacies within our network and delivered directly to your door with discretion and reliability.
Our pharmacies perform third party testing through FDA and DEA registered labs to run quality control checks for every compounded lot prescribed for our patients. They test four key characteristics that are associated with quality and safety.

L-carnitine doesn't replace a GLP-1, good nutrition or training. It helps them work harder. Most members add it to a GLP-1 plan to keep their energy and strength up while the weight comes off.
On its own the effect is modest. It is designed to support a plan, such as a GLP-1, nutrition and training, not replace one.
How do I take it?

An intramuscular injection twice a week. Your clinician walks you through your first dose and sets your schedule.
Can I take it with my GLP-1 or B12?
+
Yes. That is the most common combination, and your clinician coordinates the schedule.
How soon will I notice a difference?
+
Some patients notice better workout energy within a few weeks. Most judge it over 8 to 12 weeks alongside their plan. Individual results vary.
