Acetyl-L-Carnitine, (ALCAR FOR SHORT) is a powerful nootropic compound that improves the way your brain utilizes fatty acids for fuel, and donates part of its chemical structure to the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The effect spectrum is typically as follows. ALCAR:
- Improves mental energy
- Enhances motivation
- Enhances verbal fluency
- Enhances focus
- Facilitates productivity
But the real power with ALCAR comes with stacking it with other things, and I’ve found over the years in experimenting with nootropics, that it can be stacked with a wide variety of compounds.
You see – most nootropics are cholinergic in nature, that is, they affect the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in some way. ALCAR is no different, which makes it stackable with A LOT of other nootropic compounds.
In this podcast, we’ll break down stacking ALCAR with the following nootropic compounds:
- CDP Choline
- L-Tyrosine
- Piracetam
- Coluracetam
- L-Theanine
- Theacrine
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Alpha GPC
- Uridine monophosphate
- Noopept
- Ashwagandha
- Oxiracetam
- Acorus Calamus
- DMAE
- PRL-8-53
