*A note
about the manufacture of Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR):
-
The ALCAR in LifeSpan
and Nature's Purest is pure and pharmaceutical grade - the most
expensive and highest quality you can find, made by
Sigma-Tau.
-
There are 2 major players
when it comes to ALCAR, Sigma-Tau (Italy) and Lonza (Switzerland). I used
to caution against buying any ALCAR if not not from one of these two companies.
Now I just urge you to purchase a pharmaceutical grade product from any source -
but make sure it is truly pharmaceutical grade. If it is not, you have a
cheaper and inferior ALCAR made in China which will contain impurities in the
form of d-carnitine. Make sure you only purchase ALCAR that is
pharmaceutical grade.
-
Why is it imortant to have pure
Acetyl L-Carnitine?
Carnitine exists in
two forms: L-Carnitine and D-Carnitine. Only the L form of Carnitine is
available from natural sources and is physiologically active in the human body.
Non pharmaceutical L-Carnitine is made by removing the D-Carnitine from
synthetic DL-Carnitine. This separation process always results in some residual
D-Carnitine in the final product.
In fact, the D-form is biologically
inactive and because of its potential negative effects, the FDA has long
maintained that D-Carnitine and D,L-Carnitine are not generally recognized as
safe and are therefore illegal food
additives.
That is why
you want an L-Carnitine with no impurities. The ALCAR you purchase from some
sources (especially the cheaper ones that some offer at a low price with
additional product or say they are "professional grade") will contain
non-pharmaceutical grade ALCAR made in China and is almost guaranteed to have
significant quantities of toxic D-Carnitine. This defeats the purpose for
which you buy the L-Carnitine or Acetyl L-Carnitine.
Beware, this is one case in which
cheaper is definitely not better. Also be wary because some are
selling the inexpensive non-pharmaceutical ALCAR at prescription grade prices
and making huge profits off of unsuspecting people.

Please note:
There are 2 different labels available for this product that I
receive from the manufacturer. I get the version that is in stock
at the time. One is LifeSpan. The other is Nature's
Purest. Both were made by the same manufacturer and have
identical ingredients. I will be sending Nature's Purest most of the time because it is easier and faster to obtain from the manufacturer. Please see below for more info about
different versions of LifeSpan
Why combine Alpha
Lipoic Acid with Acetyl L-Carnitine?
Recent studies have shown
that when Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl L-Carnitine are combined that
they have:
-
Greater
Anti-Oxidant
activity!
-
More
powerful Heart Protecting
ability!
-
Improved ability to Restore Cardiac Carnitine levels!
-
Increased
ability to Improve Cardiac Energy levels!
-
Enhanced
Brain Protecting
function!
-
Better
Memory Enhancing
effects!
-
Greater
overall Energy Producing
ability!
-
Better
Anti-Aging
protection!
-
Improved
potential for slowing or even Reversing
the Effects of Stress and Aging!
-
Superior
ability to Reduce the Effects of
Male Aging than Testosterone without the bad side effects!
...than if taken individually.
You've probably
already heard a lot of things about Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic
Acid and how they complement each other.
Here are some of the most important benefits
shown by the research for each nutrient:
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is well documented to be
effective in many ways including:*
- Reduces deterioration
of brain cells associated with aging
- Increases Energy
- Resolves and Reduces "age spots" or "brown spots" on the skin
- Improves
immune function
- Alleviates
depression
- Improves and
slows the progression of
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease
- Lowers
risk of Alzheimer's Disease
- Enhances
cerebro-vascular and cardio-vascular blood flow
- Improves memory and mental
performance in normal humans and those suffering
from Aging Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI)
- Reverses
Neuro-endocrine Aging
- Restores
nerve growth factor function
- Restores
mitochondrial activity and cardiolipin to more youthful levels
- Facilitates
both the release and synthesis of Acetylcholine (an important brain
chemical)
- Increases
testosterone levels in men (increases energy and the feeling of
youthfulness!).
- Improves
the symptoms of male aging
- Carnitine is more active than
testosterone for improving symptoms of male aging such as
sexual dysfunction, depressed mood, and fatigue, according to the
results of a randomized study published in the April (2004) issue of Urology.
- Testosterone increased prostate volume
where Carnitine did not.
All these
effects occurred using doses ranging from 1,000 mg (just 2 servings of
Life Extension Complex per day) to 3,000 mg daily (Dean, et al. 1993) -
it is likely that one to three grams daily will result in enhanced
mitochondrial function in humans.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is also
well documented to be effective in these areas:
- Frees
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10 and Glutathione to perform their
anti-oxidant and other important functions
- It's a powerful
free radical scavenger and anti-oxidant
- It is active
in water and fatty (lipid) parts of human cells.
- In Germany, ALA
is an approved medical
treatment for peripheral neuropathy, a common complication of
diabetes
- It speeds
the removal of glucose from the bloodstream, at least partly by
enhancing insulin function
- It reduces
insulin resistance, an underpinning of many cases of coronary
heart disease and obesity.
- It helps
people with genetic defects leading to muscle myopathies (Barbiroli B,
et al., Journal of Neurology, 1995;242:472-7);
- It reduces
ischemia/reperfusion injury to the heart and brain. (Schonheit
K, et al., Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1995;1271:335-42; and Cao X
and Phillis JW, Free Radical Research, 1995;23:365-70)
- Inhibits the
activation of "nuclear factor kappa-B," a protein complex involved in
cancer and the progression of AIDS. (Suzuki YJ, et al., Biochemical
& Biophysical Research Communications, 1992;189:1709-15).
According to The Prediabetic
Epidemic - Nutrition Science News, 3/01 - The therapeutic
dose for ALA is 600 mg per day (the amt in 3 capsules of Life
Extension Complex). In the United States, it is sold as a dietary
supplement, usually tablets of 100 mg or less.
** LifeSpan
has bottled 2 versions of these nutrients. One bottle has 240
capsules and 2 capsules provide 500mg ALCAR and 200mg ALA. It comes in
a plastic bottle. The other version provides 500mg ALCAR and
200mg ALA in one capsule and comes in a glass and sometimes a
plastic bottle. I never know which one they are going to ship to
me. They also changed the "suggested serving size" to 1000 mg
ALCAR and 400 mg ALA on one of the labels. So please be aware
that whichever one you get will still provide
120 servings of 500mg ALCAR and 200mg ALA per bottle.
In
addition, the label on the bottle may be Nature's Purest instead of
LifeSpan. Both of these products are made by the same
manufacturer and have the same pharmaceutical grade ingredients. Please
email me if you have questions.
LifeSpan
has a vegetarian Capsule, Natures Purest has a gelatin capsule.
Please let me know if you must have a
vegetarian capsule. I will make sure you receive
LifeSpan. However, I can not guarantee speedy shipping for LifeSpan.

Questions and
Answers:
Q: Who
makes your acetyl l-carnitine?
A: The
acetyl l-carnitine is the highest
quality pharmaceutical grade carnitine that money can
buy. It is made by the European giant
pharmaceutical company, Sigma-Tau. It is not a
cheap and inferior
l-carnitine from China (and other countries) that some products carry.
