This indicates that the L-carnitine you purchased is impure and may contain laxatives, weight-loss drugs, or stimulants. It is recommended to stop taking it immediately. How much L-carnitine should I take per day? During weight loss, the average adult takes about 3000 mg of pure L-carnitine daily. This can be adjusted according to weight or needs, but should not be less than 2000 mg or more than 5000 mg per day. After successful weight loss, reduce the intake to about 1000 mg per day. Commercially available L-carnitine typically contains 65%-80% pure L-carnitine, with each 400 mg tablet containing nearly 300 mg of net L-carnitine.
