ALCAR with ALA (Acetyl L-Carnitine with Alpha Lipoic Acid) [2024]
I’ve tried many supplements, herbs and whole foods to help with my focus and mood. ALCAR is one of my favourites. It is highly effective, but I have to split a 100mg capsule up and take throughout the day, or it makes my IBS worse.
There’s also some concern about TMAO and oxidative damage, at least from long term, high-dosage use.
An amino acid found in meat, ALCAR can increase physical and mental ‘energy’ and focus by helping shuttle fatty acids into the mitochondria – a tiny organ (organelle) that products energy in the form of ATP.
