L-Carnitine is MORE effective than testosterone at increase libido

[Raydolf_Peatler]

As we all know testosterone and other hormones are responsible for male sex drive. However there was a post on this forum (https://looksmax.org/threads/l-carnitine-is-legit-holy-sh-t.799586/) that made me curious about the benefits of L carintine. I always knew L caritine was important for your health as L carnitine improve the function of your mitochondria.

However after doing some research I found out that this supplement is much more powerful than I once originally thought. In this study It was found that L carnitine was MORE powerful than testosterone at increasing Libido and sexual function.

Researchers compared L-carnitine with testosterone in men who were experiencing erectile dysfunction, low libido, fatigue, and depression. They found that after six months of treatment, L-carnitine was more effective at improving erections and sexual performance than testosterone, though the hormone helped somewhat.'

The only downside of L carnitine is that L carnitine is not Ray Peat approved (apparently increases fat oxidation) but to be honest I don't really care since having a high sex drive is the most important thing for me.

I always thought this, but on second thought, why is this important?

Sure it’s important if you live with your gf/wife, but other than that, why?

Why do you wanna feel the need to fap every hour? How will that enhance your life? It won’t make you more attractive, it won’t make you more productive, it wont make you more lucid.

Why? Think hard

It just feels nice having a high sex drive. When I optimized my sex drive through nutrition I get more aroused seeing women wearing revealing clothes than I did from watching porn back then (I used to watch a lot of porn back then).

For example, when I implemented no fap and eating a nutrient dense diet and avoiding endocrine disruptors, I became the horniest I have ever become in my life. For example I saw a 50 year old women wearing yoga shorts and a crop top and got a boner (something that has never happened in my life). I was more aroused seeing that 50 year old women than watching porn.

I would also pre-cum by just cuddling with my pillow at night. It was such a good feeling being horny all the time but the only downside was it was kind of distracting.

Can I spike my gfs drinks with L carnithine?

 

[gooner23]

bioavailability is super low with oral unless your injecting it, you should cycle it instead of taking it regularly rather optimize testosterone

 

[thereallegend]

Take 5 grams of it a day

Can you elab on what you know about carnitine

 

[OldRooster]

You are making a faulty extrapolation that is commonly done with supplement studies. Supplement studies are usually done on people with some substantial clinical condition. In this situation it is erectile dysfunction. You can't just extrapolate that and conclude that it is going to increase libido in most men. And it appears to be a study where the end point is some self reported metric, so crap study in general.

its good but not as good as people are saying, just need a way to increase its bioavailability properly most supplements just supply it straight

Very interesting.

Is there any difference in the bioavailability of the liquid form to the capsule?
