What is Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is an effective non-stimulant thermogenic that helps promote fat burning and increase metabolic expenditure. In contrast to standard L-carnitine, ALCAR has nootropic properties since its acetylated structure allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Every serving of Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine contains an evidence-based dose (1000 mg) of pure ALCAR to ensure optimal efficacy and results. Since ALCAR is not a stimulant, you can stack this product with other Pure Nutrition Fat Burners for a synergistic fat burning combination.
Benefits of Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)
L-Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound (sometimes called a “quat”) that is naturally found in red meat and plays an integral role in the body as a transporting molecule. ALCAR is a modified (acetylated) form of L-carnitine that has been studied intensively in the 21st century due to its distinct benefits and actions compared to standard L-carnitine.
The benefits of supplementing with ALCAR are rather vast, including neuroprotection, increasing acetylcholine levels, and enhancing mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. This makes ALCAR a perfect synergistic addition to virtually any supplements you are already taking, especially fat burners and pre-workouts.
ALCAR helps your body transport fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane so they can be oxidized (“burned”) for energy. Essentially, ALCAR acts like an “assisting molecule” for fats, making it essential to fat burning.
In addition, research shows that supplemental ALCAR has many other metabolic benefits, such as enhancing ATP synthesis, increasing resting metabolic rate, and improving nutrient partitioning, all of which support fat loss and muscle retention.1,2
In addition, ALCAR is able to cross through the blood-brain barrier efficiently, thereby helping protect the brain from oxidative stress and boosting cognitive function.3 This makes ALCAR the ideal supplement to use before you hit the gym or any other time of day you want to be more focused and productive.
Benefits of Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine:
- Increase calorie burn throughout the day (No stimulants!)
- Support fat loss and energy levels
- Promote mental performance and cognitive function
- Bolster antioxidant status, particularly throughout the brain
- Enhance nutrient partitioning
Why choose Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
Pure Nutrition ALCAR is manufactured in a certified cGMP facility in the USA using high-quality N-acetyl-L-carnitine, with each bottle containing 200 servings of 1000 mg. This makes Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine the best value on the market for pure ALCAR. Be confident that each bottle of Pure Nutrition Acetyl-L-Carnitine contains nothing but the purest, safest and highest quality ALCAR available.. Since ALCAR is a non-stimulant thermogenic, this supplement is highly versatile and combines well with other stimulant-based pre-workouts and fat burners for enhanced results. In addition to promoting fat loss, ALCAR acts as a nootropic and can be taken virtually any time of day you want to increase cognitive function and support mental performance.
