How each rating was worked out
Overall = formula and evidence 50% + ingredient quality 20% + taste 15% + affordability 15%.
Taste 3.8
75% of 798 Amazon ratings were 4 or 5 stars (Amazon shows no taste-only rating for this product). Customer ratings are about the whole product, and some may not be genuine.
Affordability 2.5
₹89.87 per gram of L-carnitine tartrate, the ingredient it is sold for. Compared with the cheapest of the powder supplements we rate that are priced the same way: the cheapest scores 5, and twice its price scores 2.5. Amazon price ₹1,348 for 60 g on 8 Nov 2026.
Ingredient quality 4.0
- Safe daily dose — All actives within known safe limits at one sachet a day; no stimulants (a limit, not averaged in)Good
- Formula focused on the aim — Every active is presented for metabolism, cravings or gut balance; no unrelated extrasGood
- Transparency — Every active has an amount, but the six probiotics are named by species only, without strain codes, although the box says 'clinically proven strains'Partly
- Additives of concern — No preservatives, artificial colours or stimulants; nature-identical lemon flavourGood
- Share of each serving that is the active — About half of each 2 g sachet is actives (1 g of carnitine tartrate and inulin plus the probiotics and chromium); the rest is mannitol, sorbitol, acidity regulators, stevia, flavour and magnesium stearatePartly
- Added sugar — 0 g added sugar (label); total sugars 0.8 g a sachetGood
Graded with our weight management powder supplements matrix (how we judge ingredients).
Formula and evidence 1.0
- Active ingredients at a studied dose — Chromium picolinate 200 mcg is a studied dose, but L-carnitine tartrate 500 mg (about 340 mg L-carnitine) is well below the 2-3 g a day used in most trials, inulin 500 mg is far below 8-16 g, and the probiotic strains are not identifiedPartly
Formula 2.5 of 5 × evidence for its main active, l-carnitine 1.0 of 2.5 ÷ 2.5: the science counts only as far as this product is like the ones studied. About 1.3 kg on average in trials, shrinking with longer use (Pooyandjoo et al., Obesity Reviews, 2016). Each sachet gives 500 mg L-carnitine tartrate (about 340 mg L-carnitine; trials that saw about 1.3 kg on average mostly used 2-3 g a day), 500 mg inulin (studies of fullness and gut hormones used 8-16 g a day), 200 mcg chromium picolinate (a studied dose) and 2.4 billion CFU from six probiotic species named without strain codes, so they cannot be matched to trials. This does not promise any result.
