Acetyl l-carnitine (also referred to as ALCAR) is an important supplement for muscle building and the protection of muscle tissue, but its benefits go far beyond that. Studies have shown it to have positive effects on sports performance, weight control, wellbeing and even mental health. Research into the use of ALCAR in exercise performance, weight control, diabetes, depression, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's have all returned promising results.
For our purposes, Acetyl l-carnitine is useful for fuelling muscle tissue, including the muscle of the heart. ALCAR is a derivative of two amino acids (lysine and methionine) and is naturally found in tissues that use fatty acids for fuel.
Our ALCAR supplement contains 100% pure grade acetyl l-carnitine, nothing more and nothing less. It is an extremely high quality, pure and effective ALCAR supplement which is easily added to your supplement stack.
Taking an acetyl l-carnitine supplement is a smart choice for bodybuilders, athletes, and anyone dieting to achieve better body composition. As a training aid, it will boost energy and help with mental focus during training and competing. Studies have shown that it may contribute to weight control.
Acetyl L Carnitine Benefits
weight control, athletic performance, muscle fuel, muscle repair, wellbeing, health.
Most bodybuilders and gym goers take ALCAR (a combination of the amino acids lysine and methionine) for its sports performance benefits: it fuels muscle tissue and helps with weight control and the retention of muscle. But there are many other benefits of acetyl l-carnitine which make it a good choice for non-athletes, older folk and anyone wanting to live a healthy lifestyle. Studies have shown it to benefit heart health, mental health and depression.
Acetyl L Carnitine Suggested Use
Powdered ALCAR: as a dietary supplement, mix 1.5g with 50ml of water or non acidic juice 1-3 times daily. 1 flat 1.5ml scoop provides an estimated 1.5g serving. A scoop is included in the package.

I take this as a pre-workout along side L-Tyrosine, this really gets me into that focused mode and gives me that extra boot into the fat burning state. Goes great as a pre with Thermo Shred too! Definitely recommend. Swig it down quickly, the raw powder taste is kind of acidic, but bearable! | |

The price is simply amazing and unbeatable and hoping that it doesn't change. Was surprised that ALCAR (unflavoured) has a slight sour taste so that caught me off guard but it wasn't unbearable. You might sometimes get some sinkers in the bottom of the shaker but there's no grittiness when consuming it with a pre-workout. Feel more energized and more 'alert' in general when consuming this product compared to without. Top notch product and highly recommended. | |

Not problems mixing. Don't need to use much either. Don't think I'd want to have to drink it alone, so stack it with BCAAs Plus, but real happy with all the bonuses it delivers. | |
