SodaBurn L-Carnitine: Last Place in the Blend and What That Means
SodaBurn L-carnitine is the last of 21 names in the blend, so it weighs at most 0.74 mg per 1 ml. NIH reports stomach upset and fishy body odor at about 3,000 mg a day, more than 4,000 times higher. A 2016 meta-analysis of carnitine trials found about 1.3 kg more loss than placebo, and the effect shrank over time.

The name
What is L-carnitine in SodaBurn?
L-carnitine in SodaBurn is "L-carnitine HCl", the 21st and last name in the blend. It is an amino-acid-like compound that the body makes. HCl means the hydrochloride form.
Last place sets the lowest ceiling: 15.47 divided by 21, or 0.74 mg per 1 ml of blend (21 CFR 101.36, Proprietary blends). The real amount could be lower, and the label does not print it.
The gap
How does the SodaBurn L-carnitine amount compare with doses in studies?
It is tiny next to gram doses. NIH says about 3,000 mg a day can cause nausea, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea and fishy body odor (NIH ODS, Carnitine). The SodaBurn ceiling is more than 4,000 times lower.
That gap cuts two ways. A very small amount is unlikely to cause those effects. It is also very far from any amount tested in a trial.
The trials
Does L-carnitine help with weight?
The result is small and fades. A 2016 meta-analysis of nine trials with 911 people found about 1.33 kg more weight loss than placebo, and the effect shrank with longer use (Pooyandjoo 2016, Carnitine meta-analysis).
| Item | Figure |
|---|---|
| Trials pooled | 9 trials, 911 people |
| Extra loss vs placebo | About 1.33 kg |
| Over longer use | The effect shrank |
| SodaBurn ceiling | 0.74 mg per 1 ml of blend |
NIH says larger studies are needed (NIH ODS, Carnitine). The trial doses are not in the summaries we read.
