ALCAR | 250g

Machine Supplements ALCAR (Acetyl L-Carnitine) is pure and pharmaceutical grade. ALCAR is a highly bioavailable form of L-Carnitine, an amino acid that is naturally produced in your body to generate energy and is found in large concentrations in the human brain, nerves, and liver cells. ALCAR has shown to have positive effects on cognitive ability, focus, memory and mood. It also ramps up the body’s ability to use stored body fat as an energy source.

Fat Metabolism and Fat Loss

ALCAR supplementation increases lipolysis, which is the transportation of fatty acids from fat stores to your muscles for energy. A major role of carnitine is to transport long-chain fatty acids into specialized compartments of cells known as mitochondria, where they can be metabolized to produce energy.

Energy and Mental Focus

This product is particularly useful for people who, when exposed to long term stress, show signs of low morning cortisol, such as early morning fatigue and difficulty waking up. A great thing about ALCAR is that it has an amphoteric effect on cortisol levels, raising or lowering levels depending on feedback mechanisms. If it is too low, it will bring cortisol up. If it is too high, it will bring it down.

High Bioavailability

ALCAR is superior to L-carnitine in terms of bioavailability. Both use the same mechanism for intestinal absorption that improves with sodium. One study shows ALCAR has a lower blood concentration in humans after ingestion as it hydrolyses more in blood and enters cells (e.g., brain or muscle) more efficiently from the blood than L-carnitine and is able to cross the blood brain barrier, increasing the energy available to the brain.
