    In this video you'll discover the nootropic benefits of Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR). Including why we use Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) as a nootropic, the difference between L-Carnitine and Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR), recommended dosage, side effects and clinical research.
    Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a synthesized version of L-Carnitine. Which is a derivative of the amino acids lysine and methionine.
    ALCAR is more bioavailable than L-Carnitine. It easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. And delivers L-Carnitine across cell membranes and into your brain (which L-Carnitine would not be able to cross on its own).
    ALCAR is a necessary ingredient for acetylcholine formation. Which boosts memory, mental alertness, and fluid thought.
    The antioxidant properties of Acetyl-L-Carnitine provides neuroprotective qualities, boosts Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and promotes cerebral blood circulation.
    Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps with memory, mood, mental performance and the ability to get and maintain an erection.
    As a nootropic, ALCAR users report a boost in energy and quicker thinking.
    This in-depth Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) review covers:

    I took ALCAR years ago but never thought I could see any difference. I still kept it in powder form however. Now that I am experiencing fatigue from CHF (congestive heart failure, bradycardia) I began looking for ways to improve my energy naturally-hoping to avoid a pacemaker for now. I dug out my ALCAR yesterday before my swim which I force myself through because energy begets energy but lately I have felt like I was run over by a truck for three days after each swim, and that after only 20-30 minutes. To be fair, I did start taking a pill form of ALCAR and uniquinol last week so maybe all can’t be accredited to the powdered ALCAR I loaded in my drink pre workout but man, what a difference! Not only was I able to complete a 45 minute swim I was able to walk out of the gym without my cane, no pain at all, and have absolutely no soreness today even. I am simply amazed. And wondering how often and how much I should take. My Apple Watch still alarmed me all evening that my heart rate had fallen below 40 for more than 10 minutes but I felt great and my blood oxygen was 94-96% so whatever, ALCAR did the trick.

      L-Carnitine does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier. But when you add an acetyl-group to it is easily crosses into your brain.
      So, plain L-Carnitine does not have any nootropic value because it cannot get into your brain in the amounts you need to make acetylcholine.

      L-carnitine inhibits both triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) entry into the cell nuclei (pulse.ly/0a3u2xbxtb ). But at lower doses like 500 mg twice per day it does not seem to cause problems in my experience.

      DHA (Omega-3) but NOT fish oil or most Omega-3s because the amount of DHA is too low. You need 1,000 mg DHA per day and half that of EPA.

    THANKS for this Update !!! For some reason I missed the original video & just saw it today.
    I've used so many of your Recommendations & they Truly have IMPROVED my Overall Health in many ways.
    But as you often indicate, we must Trial & Error until we Discover what Works Best.
    I've tried a lot but no Errors. Everything Helps. But as I Concluded by watching your Videos; Prostate & ED is caused by some Deficiency in the Brain.
    A few months ago I began taking Full Spectrum Amino Acids & stopped taking Protein Powder Supplements. I also added a 2000mg per day of Pumpkin Seed Oil.
    My ED has practically Disappeared, Morning Wood Daily, no need for Sildenafil, & my Mind is Clear. Prostate Measures are now down to 4.1 with the Prostate Size going from 25% enlarged to 5%.
    I take many other Suppliements & for years. But this Recent Change has come From the Amino Acids. I'm sure the Pumpkin Seed Oil helps Greatly Too.
    But the Aminos along with the NooTropics & Vitamins you Recommend (list is too long to Include lol) are what have improved my entire Organism.
    The Aminos I take include the L-Carnitine. But I refocused more on L-Carnitine, Creatine & L-Leusine for M-Tor Reaction. The only side effects it makes you poop but not Diarrhea .
    But mostly L-Carnitine by Accident lol
    I am Now going to Focus on Acetyl Carnitine as this Reaches the Brain !!!
    I haven't seen any in the stores. But I've seen some online.
    As you have so often indicated, our bodies no longer produce Aminos as when we were Younger. That is why I reverted to taking Full Spectrum Aminos.
    When I was a Body Builder in my 30s I never took protein powders. Only Keylated Aminos from GNC the only place to buy them back then & they worked Awesome.
    I suspect this may not work for everyone, but I'm sure it can't hurt those struggling with ED, Prostate & Beginning Alzheimers.
    I am convinced these ALL START IN THE BRAIN. With Inflammation. And Eliminating the inflammation in the Brain will Cure the rest Naturally if one begins early.
    I can only thank you for All You Wonderful Informative NooTropic Videos that Gave me HOPE to continue the Battle !!! And Now I Finally see The Light at the End of the Tunnel.
    Many of my Friends had their Prostate Removed, had Prostate Cancer or Died.
    There are so many things involved but I can say this much - Gut Biome, the more Fiber the Better, AMINO ACIDS Full Spectrum Especially those that can crossover into the Brain & Healthy Diet & Supplements.
    Thanks Again. I will Continue Watching your Videos and Continue to Fight the Good Fight.
    Good Luck to All of You Who Follow this Channel ...
    MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Why are the dosages so high with ALCAR if it’s so bioavailable? I was IM l-carnitine at 500-1000mg a day because I’d need to use 5 grams to benefit from it orally.
