Pros and Cons
Contains L-carnitine tartrate (LCLT), a form more scientifically researched for sports use
Favorable price-to-package-size ratio - 120 capsules for approximately 60 days of use
Clearly stated total amount of active ingredient per daily dose (1060 mg)
Detailed list of potential allergens provided (eggs, soy, nuts, milk, sesame, gluten-containing grains, crustaceans)
Daily dose (1060 mg) reaches less than 60% of the lower end of the clinically studied range for weight management (1.8-4 g/day) (Pooyandjoo et al., 2016)
The capsule shell is made of gelatin, so the product is not suitable for vegans and vegetarians
Manufactured in a facility that processes several common allergens (eggs, soy, nuts, milk, sesame, gluten-containing grains, crustaceans), increasing the risk of cross-contamination
The label warning does not explicitly mention caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which is otherwise common practice for this category of products
No publicly available independent laboratory test report
Suitable for
Physically active adults who want to supplement their L-carnitine intake while managing body weight
People looking for a longer, budget-friendly supply (120 capsules, approx. 60 days of use)
Users who have no issue with a gelatin-based capsule shell
That's a good observation - the label warning on this product only states that it is intended for physically active individuals over 18 years of age, without explicitly mentioning caution during pregnancy or breastfeeding, which is stated on some other L-carnitine products in our range. Since the safety of L-carnitine supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been thoroughly studied, AdvancedU recommends that during these two life stages you always consult a doctor or gynecologist familiar with your health condition before using any dietary supplement, even if the label warning is missing.
Unfortunately not - the capsules in AllNutrition L-Carnitine Fit Body are made from gelatin, which is of animal origin, so the product is not suitable for vegans or for vegetarians who avoid animal-derived ingredients. In addition, the product is manufactured in a facility that also processes eggs, soy, nuts, milk, sesame, gluten-containing grains, and crustaceans, which is also important for sensitive allergy sufferers, not just vegans. If you're looking for a vegan L-carnitine option in our range, check out products with a plant-based capsule shell made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, available from some other brands.
We recommend caution. The manufacturer states on the label that the product is manufactured in a facility that also processes products with eggs, soy, nuts, milk, sesame, gluten-containing grains, and crustaceans, which means a risk of cross-contamination, even though nuts are not an intentional ingredient of the product. Such statements are often the result of a shared production line with other products rather than actual allergen content in the recipe, but for sensitive individuals even trace amounts can trigger a reaction. If you have a diagnosed allergy to nuts or any of the listed substances, consult an allergist or your personal physician before use, as even small, unintentional amounts can cause an adverse reaction.
At the recommended dose of 2 capsules daily, 120 capsules will last you approximately 60 days. This falls within the timeframe of studies examining the effects of L-carnitine on body weight (30-360 days) (Pooyandjoo et al., 2016), but the daily dose (1060 mg) is lower than the doses used in those studies (1.8-4 g/day). This means that even with consistent two-month use, we cannot guarantee the same effect recorded in clinical studies using higher doses - it makes sense to view the product as a supplement to a diet and regular exercise, not as a standalone weight-loss solution.
May contain traces of eggs, soy, nuts, milk, sesame, celery, gluten-containing grains, and crustaceans.
Do not exceed the recommended daily amount or dose.
The product is intended for physically active individuals over 18 years of age.
Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient of the product.
