Description
AOR Alcar
ALCAR is N-acetyl-L-carnitine, a form of L-carnitine found ubiquitously in mammalian tissues that is important for energy production. ALCAR is unique because it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than L-carnitine, making it more effective for enhancing cognitive function.
ALCAR can also increase L-carnitine levels in those who are deficient due to factors such as the use of certain medications, disease, a strict vegetarian diet, and heart or circulatory conditions.
ALCAR is beneficial for people of all walks of life including the young, middle-aged and elderly, vegetarians, infertility patients, brain rehab patients, those experiencing chronic fatigue and athletes. Since the benefits remain after one stops taking it, it is a worthwhile investment with good returns for anyone looking for additional general health support.

- Helps relieve pain associated with diabetic neuropathy.
- Helps with issues of fatigue.
