I'm 99,99% sure that my last bottle of Doctor's Best's ALCAR contained little or no ALCAR.

There are three things that have always worked for me when trying to deal with physical fatigue. Creatine, Rhodiola and ALCAR. I've tried a lot of supplements along the years, including almost every adaptogen and amino acid out there, and this three are the only ones that I've found useful.
This three things work for me, without a doubt, every time. But I don't take Creatine for the hair loss problem and I only take Rhodiola when I'm really tired, because I'm afraid of receptor downregulation and I'm not really into serotoninergic stuff (and yes, I know that ALCAR also has some kind of influence onto serotonin receptors, but come on). So ALCAR is the only one of the three that I have been taking long term.
I've been popping ALCAR pills for years, I've also tried ALCAR-Arginate (big disappoint) and regular l-carnitine (very good but not as effective as ALCAR in my experience).
At the beginning of 2016 I bought that TMAO issue thing, which I don't believe anymore, and I stopped my consumption of ALCAR until April or so. Really bad decision, really unproductive time, I must have some kind of mitochondrial condition because I strongly missed it, while I was weak.
So, before…

If I'm wrong, let me now and I will pay for this.

So it came in today, and we just ran it through the lab. It's definitely ALCAR. The lot number of the bottle we received was 35388. It seems to have been produced in August. This is the 60 count bottle, though. So there may have been an issue with the 120ct. There is no way to know for sure without a sample from it, though. At least the current batch of 60ct bottles are legitimate.
