Acetyl-L-Carnitine, also known as ALCAR, can benefit body and mind in multiple ways. It was proven that ALCAR can enhance cognitive performance and abilities, energy while reducing pain.

Studies have also shown that ALCAR can reduce mental fatigue which improves learning ability. 

ALCAR acts as a neuro-protecter by strengthening nerves and signal receptors in the brain. In conjunction it was found that ALCAR can protect the brain from negative influences impacted by alcohol consumption.

Dosage

Recommendations for dosages vary and depend on the individual case. Most sources suggest 250 - 500mg per day. Once or spread across the day. If taken once a day it is generally recommended to  do so in the morning. Taking ALCAR before regular sleeping time, can influence the normal sleeping cycle and is therefore not recommended.

Stacking

To get full potential from all Nootropics, ALCAR can be stacked with Piracetam and Alpha-GPC.

Side-Effects

ALCAR is very safe and well tolerated by most people. The most common side-effects are nausea and headaches. Although nausea can be remedied by taking ALCAR with food and headaches can be prevented by leveling down on choline sources. 

Attention

As with all supplements, people with medical conditions should take ALCAR cautiously and consult their doctor prior consumption.
