Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR)
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a powerful amino acid derivative that has garnered attention in various studies for its potential benefits on cognitive function, memory, and mood. Research suggests that ALCAR may support mental clarity and emotional well-being, making it particularly valued by those engaged in weight training, cardio, and overall fitness. ALCAR has been noted for its role in helping the body utilise stored fat for energy more efficiently, which is often a key focus for those looking to enhance their fitness journeys.
Directions for Use:
For optimal results, take 1-2 grams up to twice daily, ensuring that at least one serving is around exercise times.
Stackability with the Primabolics Range:
ALCAR is an incredibly versatile supplement that can enhance the fat mobilisation effects of any fat burner. It can also give your pre-workout a boost, promoting the process of lipolysis (the breakdown of fat for fuel). This makes ALCAR compatible with all products in the Primabolics range, including GRIND WARFARE RIPPED and METABOLYZ.
Scientific Backing:
Studies have explored the effects of ALCAR on fat metabolism and cognitive function, highlighting its potential as a valuable addition to any fitness regimen. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicated that ALCAR may support fat oxidation during exercise (Krebs et al., 2007)【1】. Additionally, a review in Neuroscience Letters discussed ALCAR's impact on cognitive performance and its neuroprotective properties (Hoffer et al., 2013)【2】.
