Review on πŸƒ Nutricost Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) Powder - 250g - 250 Servings - 1g Per Serving by Jason Martinez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Garlic Flavored Psychedelic Pump

Acetyl-L-Carnitine appears to be much more potent than tartrate at one dose. Tartrate is only available at 15% so you need about 3500mg to get 500mg (or you can inject 500mg but no thanks). Studies show that acetyl doses in the 2-6mg range are effective, 4mg seems to be the best option. Main Reasons for Taking: It is an androgen receptor activator so it draws more testosterone into your cells. It protects against Alzheimer's disease and improves cognitive function. /memory Helps with weight loss (arguably). When I took 4mg (2mg twice a day) for the first week it was almost psychedelic...my mind was constantly racing, especially at night, which made it a little harder for me to sleep. I would recommend starting with 1-2mg max in the first week or two and increasing to 4mg to avoid this. It tastes TERRIBLE. Don't add it to any drink you plan to enjoy. Put in a little water, drizzle with lime juice, toss. What. shit back I have been on a weight loss diet for 3 months; It doesn't seem to make you burn more fat or anything, but I've noticed improvements during exercise that can lead to weight loss. I've noticed a definite improvement during the workout: lift more and longer with a slight increase in aggression during the workout. After the workout I was calmer than usual (aside from having my mind blown out of my head). L-carnitine, when taken orally, is metabolized to TMAO, which is toxic and leads to cardiovascular disease. When you take L-carnitine with garlic, it counteracts TMAO and makes it safer. You should still go with garlic because the benefits are obvious at this point; Eat more garlic, eat with a dose of L-carnitine, or take 1-2 mg unflavored garlic extract tablets with L-carnitine.

Pros
  • Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
