What is Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid compound, composed of Acetic Acid and L-Carnitine bound together.
Where to find Acetyl-L-Carnitine:
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is found to be naturally occurring in both the human body and milk.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine can also be referred to as
ALCAR, ALC, LAC, Acetyl-Carnitine and L-Acetyl-Carnitine.
Why use Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
Athletes supplement with ALCAR for a variety of reasons, including:
Improving Mental Focus — ALCAR stimulates improved cognitive (brain) function by increasing neurotransmitter activity. Improved mental focus is extremely beneficial for an athlete looking to improve the intensity of their training and performance.
Enhancing Fat Loss — L-Carnitine on its own is known to be an extremely effective weight-loss supplement. ALCAR however is thought to be even better. It works by transporting fats to cells, where the fats are then burned and used to provide energy.
Increasing Energy Levels — The energy created when fat is burned in our cells, means that ALCAR is an excellent supplement for providing us with increased energy. It can therefore be a great product for an endurance athlete, or simply as a pre-workout supplement.
Why use Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
The main reason for supplementing with ALCAR is its potential anti-aging benefits. These benefits can be noticeable both physically and mentally:
Physical Benefits — The physical effects of aging are caused by the deterioration of the energy-providing parts of our cells. ALCAR has been shown to minimize tissue damage and therefore may help us stay looking younger!
Mental Benefits — We have seen that ALCAR stimulates improved cognitive function by increasing the activity of our neurotransmitters. The effects of this increased brain function have been shown to improve both learning and memory. This means that ALCAR can be an excellent supplement for many individuals ranging from students to the elderly.
Other research studies have indicated that ALCAR could be useful in treating those with illnesses including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Dementia, Depression, Scurvy, Herpes and Cardiovascular disease.

| AWESOME! |
"This stuff is f'kin AWESOME! Take @ 5g immediately before workouts & put on The Prodigy's 'Firestarter' & you'll be nutting the walls!
Best way to use it though, is to mix up 5g in @ 200ml traditional lemonade (almost completely disguises the acetic taste), drink some immediately before & the rest periodically during the workout.
For a TOTALLY INSANE workout, use with Ephedrine HCL.
Be Strong & Be Healthy :)" |
