Overview

Acetyl L Carnitine (ALCAR) is derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It is found in highest levels in tissues that use fatty acids as their main fuel; such as the skeletal and cardiac muscles.

L Carnitine and Acetyl L Carnitine have backed claims of anti-aging and nutrient regenerating properties. The effects of supplementing with them have been extensively researched in many areas including exercise performance, weight loss, treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, diabetic depression and many other neurological disorders.

L Carnitine is an excellent aid for weight loss.

  • Review:
    A great supplement for a pre-training boost and also to ward off the mid-afternoon crash if you train early. Unfortunately the smell/taste is vile! I just stick it in with a protein shake which mostly covers the taste. You still get a bit of a strange aftertaste, but drink it quickly and it's fine.

    This is the best value L-Carnitine I've found anywhere. If you use it you must be aware how it works. It takes many weeks and months to raise Carnitine levels and does not have an instant effect. You must take 80g of carbs with each dose because the body will NOT absorb or retain Carnitine unless insulin levels are spiked. Google it to check - there are only a few studies but they are compelling and you will have to take it for 3-6 months to see a lasting effect. It is not a quick fix supplement - any instant hit or effect is just plain wrong - placebo effect. A good product at very good value.

    I used carnitine pills and I was happy about them, but as we all know, liquid is much better. Unfortunately for myprotein, this tastes HORRIBLE! The smell in the pouch could almost blind you and once mixed with water it tastes almost like aspirin, just 10 times stronger!

  • Review:
    overview should be somethi ng like this: L-Carnitine is classified as an amino acid, although it is not an amino acid in the classic sense. Amino acids are generally used by the body for protein synthesis and/or as a neurotransmitter. Carnitine (actually more closely related to the B vitamins) is primarily used to facilitate the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells for energy production. This process provides muscular energy by burning fat, and also prevents fatty build-up around vital organs. Natural Carnitine is found primarily in red meats, so vegetarians may need to supplement to ensure healthy levels in their bodies.

    At Paul - It is not recommended to take Carnitine after early afternoon due to it's stimulating effects. I usually take 3 g on an empty stomach before breakfast and the same before lunch. Also a great pre-workout supplement.

    I find this excellent and very good value but, after reading heavily first, I have only ever taken it with 200mg of Alpha-Lipoic acid and it's a shame my protein don't sell that.

    Well i did not have a way to measure this so took a tip of a teaspoon 3 times a day and this has really messed with my sleep patterns. For 3 nights i have really had a hard time sleeping. I got some scales and found i was only using about 100 mg per serving !! I will try just a single 200 mg dose in the morning before workout and see if that helps By the way i am a 50 year old farty. maybe that has some impact

    It really works, decided to try this and ordered 100g. Before I had to be very strict what I eat, could gain a few pound easy. Now, I can have something nice like cake, chocolate without gaining. Together with gym, whey protein in 2 month I lost 1 stone, and visibly had lean gains, so it means even more fat lost ! Recommended !!! ( I don't mind taste - for me is ok )

  • Review:
    Most effective L-Carnitine supplement in terms of fat loss and energy boosts plus it is absolutely fantastic value! The taste of it is quite unpleasant but I got used to it and I recommend taking it seperately as it will ruin the flavour of your protein shakes! It also made my bowel movements quite runny and frequent so don't use this every day!

  • Review:
    I just put in a glass and pour in some water - don't even have to stir .. it just mixes. Not really a taste to it - just gives it a bit of a sharp tang, nothing unbearable. Can anyone suggest how I can accurately weigh 1g of this stuff? I don't have a scale which has that much accuracy. I've got one of those small scoops which says 5cc at the bottom. Am I correct in assuming that 1g of this would be 1/5th of the scoop?

  • Review:
    Mixed well, put it in half a glass of water, stired. Only downside no measuring spoon included so I basically guessed the amount. However, the result is great a really good energy buzz. I take in the morning followed by a black coffee. Really does give your training a boost.

    I dnt really know if it had any extra benefit to the supplements I was taking with it. I took it alongside creatine and protein. I have lost a fair bit of weight but I have been going to the gym 5 times a week for the last 3 months where I lost 2 stone. Theres no hassle in taking it but i honestly cant say if it did anything for me

    It makes me focused and alert. Dont know about its weight loss effects. It also gives very vivid and strange dreams ( along with Zinc and Mag! ). It has some sort of memory influences, as my dreams were consisting of many memories both short and long term.

    nexd working day delivery, love the smell of the powder (very solventy), dont really mind the taste, i take BCAA with creatine ethyl ester and to be frank i dont think theres anything out there that could possibly taste worse than those two mixed together, only bin taking it recently but my weight loss has been quite dramatic without it so i can only imagine it will be even more so with it :D

  • Review:
    It's very cheap comparing to similar products from other brands. It mixes well with water or juice, I never needed a spoon for that. It tastes like ultra lemon, not very pleasant but I can drink it only with water. These kind of products produces different reactions in our bodies depending on a lot of factors, so it's normal to have different results than those described on all the reviews. In my case, I can loose weight if I complement it with exercise and watch what I eat, other wise you'll be able to maintain weight with a not so healthy diet, which is good for those year seasons like Xmas...eh eh. I usually don't drink it past 17:00 but once I drunk it at 21:00 and it didn't mess my sleep. I will definitely continue to include it in my diet.

    Been using this product for the past 6 months and boy I must say its stuff of dreams. The taste which alot of people talk about you hardly notice it after taking it a few times. \nI found the best way is pop it in the mouth and drink water and swallow.\nI have lost 2 stones by taking this 30 mins before morning workout on empty stomach with strong black coffee.....

    I take ALCAR with a black coffee (no sugar) on an empty stomach, 1hr before a workout in the morning (no breakfast) - greatly enhances fat loss and endurance, far better than just caffeine alone. ALCAR after a workout seems to aid better recovery. Top item!

  • Review:
    I started taking this about a fortnight ago, so I can't really comment on its fat burning characteristics just yet, but for physical and mental sharpness this really works wonders. I take about 3 grams, three times a day and the physical and mental boost is really noticeable at the gym, at the desk and especially on the squash court. As a lot of the comments have mentioned take it with orange juice or water, as it gives the protein shakes a bit of a tang.

    I didn't find it helped exercise or weight loss at all, but it solved a sleeping problem which had responded to nothing else - I woke up in middle of night and could not get over again for a couple of hours, about two nights out of five. Problem solved: 1 gm morning & night, with Alpha-Lipoic Acid capsule in morning. Flavour rather like grapefruit.

    This stuff is brilliant, especially combined with Alpha-Lipoic-Acid. It gives me an incredible boost during training. DO NOT TAKE AFTER 5PM YOU WILL NOT SLEEP.

    If you are losing weight by way of diet and exercise at the moment, this product will help you burn noticeably more bodyfat if you add it to your diet. This supplement is one which actually does that which it is said to.

  • Review:
    ALCAR is an effective supplement for use both as part of a fat-loss strategy and as a very mild aid to alertness. Would suggest a dose of 1-3g taken up to three times per day.

  • Review:
    I use this product primarily for nutrient repartioning and fatty acid translocation. I regard this as an essential product for anyone on a high fat diet. Carnitine ensures that the fatty acids are processed into energy including those stored in your body fat.

    Having been using this for about a week now and have discovered that mixing it with cordial or juice or squash (the stuff thats watered down), it hides the spicyness. Also, i find that taking abit 1/2 hour - hour after meals fills you up that bit longer, therefore reducing snacking.\r\n\r\nGood luck to you all and hope you all reach your personal targets!! :-)

    Great price for a star nutrient - at last I can afford to take quantities that have a physiological effect! Actually, I take it for the mental energy boost more than anything - the older you get, the more you need ALCAR, and the more dramatic the impact.

  • Review:
    Don't mix with water, mix with grapefruit juice or anything citrus. Mixes amazingly well and alongside a heavy weights programme and reduced cals helped me achieve a six pack which I could not manage before. \r\nA bit clumpy when it arrives so you have to break bits off, but a great product nonetheless
