Bruce Ames is a similarly eminent scientist interested in anti-aging research. He's tried to commercialize his research into Acetyl L-Carnitine and R-Lipoic Acid.

I would imagine commercializing ALCAR to be be difficult at this point, considering you can get it cheaply in every form on Amazon Prime.

I think that is why there was a lot of hype about R-Lipoic Acid for awhile, as opposed to regular lipoic acid. And a lot of hype about Acetyl Carnitine Arginate.

You can patent the manufacturing processes on this stuff, even if you cannot patent the substance itself.

Nicotinamide Riboside and pterostilbene's manufacturing processes are patented by a company called Chromadex.
