So far I've noticed a little of an energizing effect but it doesn't really compare to Racetams. One day I upped the dosage to 2700 milligrams, there's wasn't a big difference in energy level but I noticed for about an hour and I had an uplifting sense of optimism about the world. I went off one of my [90-day periods of #nobooze](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/blog/limitless-lifestyle/774-lifehacking-sobriety-ethical-hedonism-in-south-america-vice-city) recently, while I haven't gotten drunk yet (it would be the second time this year) I've found ALCAR offsets the cobwebs the next day. I believe that the science indicates that ALCAR protects our DNA from the effects of alcohol. On a night out on the town, I consumed a good German beer, a glass of red wine, and a gin and tonic, I took ALCAR before going to bed, which I don't recommend, I had a terrible time falling asleep. This was probably partially due to the alcohol (a notorious sleep disruptor) but I felt a little of a Nootropic energy buzz and suffered from a racing mind that kept me from succumbing to the dream world. **It's quite pleasant to consume**, so taking it sublingually is not at all unpleasant, it has a quite tangy taste kind of like Phenibut, that I wouldn't mind adding to a beverage or my bottle of S. Pellegrino. I'm coming to the conclusion that this isn't really a performance-enhancing Nootropic on its own, in the future I'll be taking ALCAR when doing the [Piracetam Protocol](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/blog/nootropics/1074-piracetam-protocol).

This evidence of purity is something you should demand that your local supplement shop or the sellers on Amazon likely can't provide. ## **About** [Acetyl L-Carnitine](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/ALCAR-Powdered) 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 thought to be a nootropic. ### Mind Power Products [Subscribe to the Limitless channel](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/videos) | | | | --- | --- | Sold by - [PureBulk.com](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/vendors/1819-purebulk) 💡 [**INVEST** at least $300](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/PureBulk) (coupon code: *Limitless* for a 10% discount) in your health with PureBulk.com and get a [Biohacking **consultation**](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/membership/secret-society) ### Supplement or Drug - Gluten Free - Good Manufacturing Practice Certified - Money Back Guarantee - NON GMO - Pharmaceutical Grade - Vegan Friendly Type of Consumable Powder Nootropic Ingredients - [Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/nootropic-ingredients/325-alcar) Other Ingredients - [ALCAR HCl](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/advanced-search/tag/otheringredients/alcar-hcl?criteria=8) ### Photos [![ALCAR HCL by PureBulk.com](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==)](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/media/reviews/photos/original/dc/b0/e3/l-carnitine-by-peak-nootropics-20-1406143777.webp "ALCAR HCL by PureBulk.com") [![ALCAR HCL by PureBulk.com](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==)](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/media/reviews/photos/original/4a/40/dc/l-carnitine-by-peak-nootropics-83-1425668485.webp "ALCAR HCL by PureBulk.com") [![ALCAR HCL](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==)](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/media/reviews/photos/original/34/2c/b7/alcar-10-1659170096.webp "ALCAR HCL") ### Editor review 1 review My Favorite Tangy Mitochondrial Nootropic June 09, 2015 (Updated: August 13, 2019) Overall rating   4.2 Good value   5.0 Makes you feel 'Limitless' - Improves memory   N/A Ability to focus   N/A Energy and productivity   3.0 Wakefulness and alertness   N/A Social Confidence   N/A Verbal ability   N/A JR Jonathan Roseland [#1 Reviewer](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/reviewers#user-823) [251 reviews](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/jreviews/my-reviews?user=823) Report this review [Comments (0)](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/nootropics/discussions/review?id=86) | Was this review helpful?
