Mixing 600 mg L-Carnitine
Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 600 mg vial of L-Carnitine gives 300 mg/mL: each 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 30,000 mcg. With 1 mL it's 600 mg/mL (60,000 mcg per 10 units); with 3 mL, 200 mg/mL (20,000 mcg per 10 units). More water makes small amounts easier to measure.
