What the brand says

Sold as “PeakNootropics Acetyl L Carnitine (ALCAR) Powder - 100 Grams - Nootropic Supplement”

Acetyl L-Carnitine or, ALCAR is the acetylated version of the popular sports supplement, L-Carnitine. L-Carnitine is important in many bodily functions including energy metabolism. ALCAR has a range of different effects than L-Carnitine because it is much more bioavailable and metabolizes differently. Unlike L-Carnitine, ALCAR is considered to have nootropic and neuro-protective benefits. It works as a strong antioxidant which helps protect the brain from various dangers. Acetyl L-Carnitine has been suggested to be a precursor to Acetylcholine which is a neurotransmitter important in learning and memory. ALCAR is often stacked with a cheap choline salt like choline bitartrate or citrate because it acts synergistically to produce Acetylcholine. Some people will use this stack as a cheaper alternative to more expensive acetylcholine intermediates such as alpha GPC or citicoline.
