We know; we feel you! But we also know that ALCAR is one of the most fascinating, useful, and physiologically exciting workout supplements on the planet. You’re hard-pressed to find a single other ingredient that is involved in so many critical bodily processes: fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism, neurotransmission, exercise performance and capacity, brain function – the list goes on! So, like your 401K contribution, don’t forget to pay into your ALCAR fund. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esplit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-carnitine is a derivative of the amino acid lysine and, as certain conditions outpace the body’s ability to produce it, l-carnitine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid. While endogenous biosynthesis of l-carnitine from the amino acids lysine and methionine is sufficient for essential processes – along with dietary sources of carnitine from protein-rich red meat, for example – dietary supplementation of carnitine may pose benefits in certain physiological conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, due to excess metabolism of l-carnitine by microorganisms in the small intestine, exogenous supplementation with oral l-carnitine has proved ineffective. ALCAR, an acetylated version of l-carnitine, has considerably higher oral bioavailability, due likely to only partial hydrolytic metabolism. Once in the bloodstream, ALCAR plays a fundamental role in the production of energy, acting as the catalyst for the beta-oxidation of long chain fatty acids by the mitochondria; regulating the CoA to Acyl-CoA ratio (necessary for the production of ATP); and the metabolism of carbohydrates. ALCAR also is an excitatory agent for neurons, increases neuronal transmission, and increases the production of neurotransmitters and neurohormones such as dopamine and serotonin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esplit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2440\/0931\/files\/commodities-supp-facts-2020-ALCAR.jpg?v=1597908997\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esplit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ticks\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2440\/0931\/files\/P65_Alcar_2020_7.5x2.5_FIN-OL.pdf?v=1644226026\"\u003eAcetyl-L-Carnitine Label\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Core Nutritionals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53256738242870,"sku":"672975315405","price":114.29,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/1033\/1702\/files\/ACETYL_FRONT_eefb6e38-0507-46c2-9d54-745f9b1eb1ce.png?v=1762807518","url":"https:\/\/www.corenutritionals.ae\/products\/acetyl-l-carnitine","provider":"Corenutritionalsae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
