Help brewing L carnitine

[BigTomJ]

The only point I was arguing is that alcar on it own (without buffer, and ph adjustments) is a bad choice, and it will break down into lcar and acetic acid within a couple weeks , where's lcar base can be brewed without buffer or ph adjustments. I guess I should have been more specific in my earlier post.
Also, ai just another tool in the tool box, it's all about how you use it

right, but if it's your only tool, your just going to end up looking silly.
next time you want to weigh in on a subject you don't have any knowledge or experience in, ask questions first before assuming you have all the answers because you spent 5 minutes improperly using AI.

Nice strawman argument. Everything I've said has been factual. Next you're going to say don't use Google. Shit I guess I'll have to find my library card

did you use AI to explain to you what a strawman is to?
because the irony of you making a strawman argument in the same post isn't lost on me, hilarious.

@V.primal just cut your losses and sit this one out.
humble yourself and ask questions instead of assuming you know everything that there is to know just because you asked chatgpt the wrong questions.

let me repeat what I was saying, brewing alcar by itself is a bad idea because it will break down fairly quickly. Are you saying that's not true?
You keep saying ai ai ai, dude I didn't need to use ai to figure that out.
I made a valid point and you keep creating strawmans about ai, as somehow ai would always be wrong.
You keep projecting your lack of skill in using ai and you think everyone else gets the same shit results.
I use ai for many things, it's great.
I didn't need to use it to know that alcar is acidic and unstable, that's a strawman you created

Just ignore him. Its pointless.

All he has been doing is deflecting and projecting since you made your initial observation.

Somebody more secure in themselves would likely be able to counter, add more context to their initial statements or provide a differing opinion without trying to put someone else down and deflect+project.

Seems to me he got his feeling hurt because you suggested some of what he said is a bad idea.

I don't know why people always have such fragile egos and are quick to bash anyone who doesn't totally agree with them on these forums.

Alright guys need some advice, I'm attempting to make 40ml of carnitine. It just keeps coming out white and pasty. Where am I going wrong?

25ml WFI
20.2g l-carnitine base
.5ml BA
Going for 500mg/ml

Add WFI and BA to beaker, turn hot plate on low, medium stir. Slowly start adding l-carnitine. I add about 1/10 of the powder each time, but even from the start the solution is white/cloudy and as i progressively add more it continues to get whiter and thicker. It's as if the powder isn't dissolving. Where am I going wrong? Feel free to hate on me for being stupid, it's my first experience trying this. Everything i've read it's very straight forward but i've attempted 2 times now with the same results.

Edit: added pic of the solution after mixing for 20 min.

Just an update on this, got the carnitine from purebulk. Gave it a go this afternoon and everything came out as it should. one thing i noticed is the powder from purebulk was more of crystallized powder, where as the bulksupplements was a fine fluffy powder. not sure what was actually in that but i tossed it

Thats crazy that you got the legitimately wrong stuff in your bag. That seems really dangerous.

My bulk supplements powder is crystallized. No fluff at all.
