Acetyl L Carnitine (ALCAR) is used by the body to convert fat into energy production. ALCAR not only helps burn fat but assists in turning it into energy, giving your body a boost of energy when you need it most. ALCAR also helps increase your metabolism, which allows you to burn even more fat, in turn further boosting your energy levels and performance in the gym. These benefits make ALCAR very popular for those looking to lose weight while retaining as much muscle as possible. Carnitine is derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine and found in highest levels in tissues that use fatty acids as their main fuel; such as the skeletal and cardiac muscles. ALCAR is an acetylated version of Carnitine, which provides the same fat burning properties plus additional benefits to cognitive ability, memory and mood. Our pure 100% ALCAR powder offers unparalleled value as compared to other brands selling ALCAR in pill formats. As with all LushProtein™ products, Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided for all key ingredients for assured quality.
