TL;DR

• Boosts clean physical & mental energy
• Supports memory, clarity & cognitive performance
• Promotes mood balance & motivation
• Convenient 500 mg daily capsule

What it is

Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a bioavailable form of the amino acid L-carnitine, prized for its role in energy metabolism and brain health. It supports mitochondrial function (your body’s cellular “power plants”) while also promoting neurotransmitter activity tied to mood and cognition. The result: cleaner energy, sharper focus, and a brighter outlook.

What you’ll feel (and when)

• Within an hour: many users notice improved alertness and mental clarity.
• With daily use (2–3 weeks): stronger cognitive endurance, better recall, and more balanced mood.

How it works (the simple science)

How to use

• Dose: 1 capsule (500 mg), once or twice daily
• When: Morning or early afternoon to avoid late-night stimulation
• Stacking: Combines well with caffeine for energy, or choline sources (Alpha-GPC, CDP-Choline) for stronger cognitive effects

Safety & interactions

General safety: Not for children. Avoid during pregnancy or nursing. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult your healthcare provider before use. Do not exceed the recommended serving. Store in a cool, dry place.

FAQ

1. How soon will I notice results?
Some feel an immediate lift in clarity and energy, while mood and cognitive benefits usually build after 2–3 weeks.

2. Can I stack ALCAR with other supplements?
Yes — it pairs well with caffeine for sharper energy, or with Alpha-GPC/CDP-Choline for memory support.

3. Is ALCAR safe for daily use?
Yes, at 500 mg/day it’s well tolerated. Stick to recommended serving sizes unless otherwise advised by a clinician.

4. Will it disrupt sleep if taken late?
Possibly — it boosts cellular energy, so morning or early afternoon dosing is best.

5. Is this better than plain L-Carnitine?
Yes — the acetylated form (ALCAR) more easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, making it more effective for cognitive and mood support.
