What people say about ALCAR and energy
“ALCAR is great. Great energy burst. I find it takes a few hours to kick in though.”
“I can easily sit for 12+ straight and focus. I thought Pterostilbene was insane but this is another beast completely.”
“I've personally experienced heightened anxiety as well as insomnia (though the insomnia is fairly easily remedied by making sure you take the pill in the morning).”
“ALCAR has always worked wonders for me but I also have to cycle that on occasions where things get stressful, and it becomes a tad anxiogenic.”
