Description
ALCAR (Acetyl-L-Carnitine) 99% is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays a crucial role in energy production and various physiological processes. Research suggests that ALC supplementation may provide a range of health benefits, including enhanced energy, improved brain function, and reduced risk of chronic diseases.
ALCAR is primarily produced by the liver and kidneys, but it may also be obtained through dietary sources like meat, fish, and dairy products. In the bloodstream it helps to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, where it is converted into energy. ALC may help to support the production of nerve growth factor (NDF) and help to uphold the integrity of intracellular membranes.
Besides being found in a several foods in small amounts, it is also common as a dietary supplement. It may help to support the production of nerve growth factor (NDF) and help to uphold the integrity of intracellular membranes.
Brain Function and Cognition
ALC is found in high concentrations in the brain, where it plays a role in neurotransmitter synthesis, cell membrane function, and it is vital for the gray matter. Studies suggest that supplementation may improve memory, focus, and overall cognitive function, particularly in older adults.
Heart Health and Cardiovascular System
ALCAR may have beneficial effects on heart health by reducing oxidative stress, improving blood vessel function, and lowering homocysteine levels. Studies have linked the supplementation to a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.
Neuroprotection and Aging
The substance plays role in maintaining mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress suggests that it could have neuroprotective effects. Studies suggest that supplementation may slow down cognitive decline and improve brain health in older adults.
Energy and Physical Performance
The ability to transport fatty acids for energy production suggests that it could enhance physical performance and reduce fatigue. Studies have shown that ALCAR supplementation can improve exercise endurance, reduce muscle soreness, and boost energy levels in athletes and physically active individuals.
Weight and Metabolism
Acetyl-L-Carnitine may aid in weight management by enhancing fat metabolism and reducing appetite. Studies have shown it can increase energy expenditure and reduce body fat percentage in overweight and obese individuals.
Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidant
ALC has antioxidant properties that can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It may also help modulate inflammation, a process associated with various chronic diseases.
Athletic Performance and Recovery
ALCAR may enhance athletic performance by increasing energy availability, reducing muscle damage, and promoting muscle recovery. Studies have shown that supplementation can improve exercise performance and reduce muscle soreness in athletes.
Mood Support
Acetyl-L-Carnitine may have antidepressant effects by increasing neurotransmitter levels and improving brain function. Studies suggest that supplementation may reduce symptoms of depression in adults, particularly older adults.
Suggested use
The recommended dose is a serving of 600 mg (1/4 teaspoons) 2 to 3 times a day. Can also be blended in a smoothie.
Note that the acetyl-L-carnitine bag should be kept sealed, as the product will liquefy in the presence of air.
Ingredients
ALCAR (Acetyl-L-Carnitine) 99%. The ALCAR is attached to HCL (hydrochloride) for easy absorption in the body. The supplement is free from fillers and additives.
