Any idea if NP might be picking this one up? Pleeaseee

Probably. It is patented as GlycoCarn™ (the propionyl-carnitine ester attached to a glycine bond) by Sigma-Tau, though, making the whole thing a tad complex. Straight PLC is a different matter. Let's see, if someone from NutraPlanet chimes in.

They could always pick up the Jarrow products if they wanted to, they are the cheapest that I have seen.

That's right! Still Sigma-Tau, though.

[NutraMan]

If there is enough demand, I am sure we could work with Sigma-Tau to bring some in.

Don't know if it elicits the same response but I'd luuuuuv to see some bulk plcar/nutracaps in the very near future!

i've received a few requests for the bulk plcar restock, but prices are still more than double what they used to be for all forms of carnitine out of china.
i believe we are patiently awaiting a price reduction before we restock.
i agree, caps would be nice.

More-than-double?! That's INSANE! I know the Olympics had something to do with it, although I'm not sure of the reason. Do you have any insight on why the price went up?

yeah, you guessed it. things should hopefully get back to normal soon though.

During the Olympics, the TWO factories in China that manufacture PLCAR completely shut down for months.

Interrupted/no supply, lots of demand... Not price friendly as you can imagine

[Bionic]

Thanks for the info, guys. It makes sense now. Cheers to things getting back to normal!

I got quoted $300 (plus a bank fee of $20) for 1kg, plus shipping, from Bepharm in China.

It's not in bulk, but it is in http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/a...-capsules.html

so what the different between this product and Incarnate ?and can they be used together ?

there are two main Factories in China that produce the majority of the carnitines. They BOTH completely closed up shop during the entire Olympic season (I believe one of them moved to a larger facility), which kicked in the laws of supply and demand with a vengeance.

EDIT Deja vu

Is the a difference as far as effectiveness with the Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine and just regular Propionyl-L-Carnitine? Does the glycine make that big of a difference.

Depends on your goals. If it's just mitochondrial function and strength, any would do, although l-carnitine-l-tartrate is claimed to be 'better'

[Hank Vangut]

the glycine form is designed to increase bioavailibility of PLC.
depending on cost increase of this form it may not be worthwhile given the fact that carnitine has a fairly ok absorption rate already.

Bump for any new info on PLCAR and LCLT supplies/stock!

[Hank Vangut]

NP is still waiting for the price to come down to a reasonable level before considering a re-stock.
i want some myself!
