Product Features

Musashi Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a single ingredient formula based on the amino-acid with the same name. The supplement is described as potentially helpful for the increase of fatty acid metabolism in muscle and in the production of energy.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a naturally occurring amino-acid believed to be directly involved in the production of energy during burning processes. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is the acetylated form of l-Carnitine, a nutrient essential for mitochondrial energy metabolism. It is produced in the liver and kidneys but can also be taken from certain foods such as fish, poultry, dairy products and red meat.

Clinical research on the amino-acid have also shown its beneficial effects on people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment, in the sense that it may slow down the rate of cognitive deterioration (verbal critical abilities and memory).

The recommended dosage of Acetyl-L-Carnitine is 250 – 500 mg per day, but may increase significantly depending on the condition it is used for. Even though is considered a safe supplement, consuming more than 3g daily may cause mild side-effects such as vomiting, rashes, diarrhea and a fishy body odor.

As primary energy source, the recommended dose of Musashi Acetyl-L-Carnitine is 1 tea spoon 20 minutes before aerobic exercise, meaning 2000 mg daily. There are no consumer reviews available online, therefore it is hard to assess the formula’s effectiveness in the benefit areas advertised by the manufacturer
