Review on 🌱 EARTHBORN ELEMENTS Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) (200 Capsules) - 100% Pure, Gluten-Free & High 1100 mg Serving Size by Stacey Woodard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality, inexpensive.

This is my first experience with Earthborn ALCAR having used ALCAR Power and capsules from many other companies. The Earthborn version looks exactly as advertised: well made, reasonably priced, professionally restored, nice clean packaging. Will definitely buy again once I've completed my original order. I've been taking 1500mg/day for a few years. I believe I have benefited from taking ALCAR as I have realized some of the health benefits this supplement is said to provide. I feel the same way about the Earthborn version. In truth, the supposed benefits are no more and no less than a few high-end brands I've tried. Given these brands' significantly higher costs, despite their reputable professional lab and quasi-medical vibe, Earthborn's cheaper price tag is the real deal. I've even tried cheaper brands but none of them work as well or work at all. Some came in cheap leaky packaging and some had an odd yellow cast to them. Based on this experience, Earthborn ALCAR is my new minimum cost standard. This is a good product, not cheap but a lot smaller than other brands of the same quality) One issue I've noticed with this brand is that the gelatin capsules seem to be thinner than some I've tried. This likely means they dissolve faster when swallowed, which seems to be a plus. However, they also begin to break down faster when exposed to air, heat, and moisture. I had to change my habit of taking all my supplements off in the morning and taking them intermittently throughout the day. After a few hours, ALCAR earth-born capsules will start to get soft and sticky. The energy inside also tends to bond and detach from the inner surface of the capsule as air begins to enter. This problem is easily solved by storing these ALCAR capsules in a container until it is time to take them. Not so much an overlay, but an issue a potential buyer should be aware of. (I've encountered this problem with a few other brands of ALCAR capsules as well). I am happy with Earthborn Elements ALCAR and am planning to try some of their other supplements.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
