Review
Summary |
Acetyl L-Carnitine Arginate, or simply L-Carnitine, is a natural supplement marketed as an anti-aging solution found in many formulas. This particular product we are looking at today is manufactured by the company Life Extension, which does have a large inventory of various functioning supplements. This product in particular has very little published information regarding its purpose and effectiveness.
This product is advertised to increase bone density, lean muscle and energy, as well as create a younger appearance. There are many supplements that have similar marketed benefits. Though, many only offer a placebo effect at best. We will study this formulation closer to determine if it’s likely to offer an effective product.

 | Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Currently, it is not possible to find a complete formulation for this particular product. Though, we can assume that it actually does contain the protein amino acid L-Carnitine due to the name of the supplement.
We are always disappointed when manufacturers do not disclose a complete ingredient list since it’s impossible to review the product for safety and success without one. Also, consumers must have access to this information in order to avoid potential health complications and allergic reactions. Furthermore, we do find many companies will proudly boast of their formulations to show consumers that their product is a good choice. The fact that this supplement does not have a published ingredient list does make us suspicious of the quality level of this product.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
The assumed contained amino acid is said to stimulate growth hormones that are produced by the pituitary gland. These hormones are shown to decline with age, and there are theories this decrease leads to the degradation of the body. However, amino acids have not been proven to successfully perform this function. A better route would be to find a product that offers real growth hormones rather then a bundle of amino acids. Such a supplement may rejuvenate cell walls and significantly enhance many bodily functions.
Without a complete formulation it’s impossible to verify if this supplement alone is a good anti-aging product choice. It’s a scary prospect to ingest something into the body without knowing how it will affect bodily functions. We never recommend a product that does not disclose its entire ingredient list.

 | Lifestyle |
|
This supplement as suggested at the website is to be taken with a morning and evening meal. This is a fairly easy dosage schedule to remember, and should not encourage missed doses. We do prefer capsule-based delivery methods such as this one, since it is likely the most successful way to deliver the ingredients into the body for absorption.
|
 | Positives |
|
• Most likely offers amino acids
• Is said to contain all “natural ingredients”
|
 | Negatives |
|
• Does not publish exact formulation
• Overly expensive
• No cited research
• Company manufacturers multiple anti-aging products
|
 | Final Thoughts |
|
Anti-aging products are meant to address a variety of issues. One important concern this product does not address is the absorption of minerals and vitamins into the body. With age its found humans do not properly receive all the nutrients that are introduced into their body. While there are supplements that attempt to remedy this condition, this product does not seem like one of them.
We suggest consumers keep on looking. We do want to stress that it is important to buy a supplement after obtaining the complete formula. Fortunately, there are many supplements developed by doctors that clearly have the formulas posted online. Anti-aging products are abundant in the market and it’s important to not fall susceptible to a possible scam.
However, for those consumers who are interested in this supplement it is currently reduced to $45.89 for a one-month supply. Though, this does not include the shipping price.
