:thumbsup:

Been taking 1 gram per day split up into 500mg doses usually taken morning then afternoon. I must say this stuff is outstanding. Gives you an energy boost unlike the boost from caffeine. My mood was also greatly enhanced and I had a greater sense of well-being. I am not seeing the fat repartitioning effects just yet ( I am also taking green tea and r-ala) but I am sure it is a little too subtle for me to see. Overall great product, I will definitely be using this for years to come...

smi2le.net is supposed to have a good bulk deal coming in the next few weeks. :drunk:

Their price is actually pretty decent right now....which is nice when you're dumping down 4-6 grams per day :blink:

It's me favorite supp in the whole world although the claims of fat repartioning et cetera really don't seem to hold much water in the real world. It also seems to get addicting. If I run out for a week or two I seriously crave it until I can dose again. I can feel that first dose oozing into my brain..ahhhh. lol

2grams/day is just right for me.

Ditto. I think I would probably give up protein powder and everything else before I gave up ALCAR. Seems to take the mind off of appetite while dieting as well as a slight stim feeling. Also seems to potentiate other stims.

if you've ever taken GO twice per day then you already know. I like ALCAR and especially the effects it has on mitochondria. Just be sure to stack it with ALA.

Why do you have to add ALA in the mix?

http://www.kentnutrition.com/

has it for $17.95 for 250 caps @ 500mg each, I get my green tea, ALA, dextrose, and CLA there as well
At that price, it's 14.36 cents per gram

Mike's site sells it for 6.40 cents per gram (getting the 1/2 kilo). Of course this way, you have to cap it yourself or chug it down raw (not reccommended).

It always comes down to price vs. convienience

I think you need it as an antioxidant. High doses of alcar are oxidative. I also love alcar, but I cycle off for a couple of months every few months. One thing I've noticed is that I seem to hold less water while using alcar. When I drop it, I'll gain a couple pounds of water within a week or so. When I start back, I drop some. I love 1-2 grams first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I've turned a couple of friends who don't even lift/diet/exercise on to alcar, and they use it regularly. It's also great for weaning off of stims. It's something I'll always take, like a multivitamin or vitamin C.

edit: regarding the powder - I personally love the taste of alcar and crave it. My wife also loves it. My friend likes the taste so much he dumps it in a glass of water to savor the flavor!

Where did you get the powder?? Is it flavored? I got it from 1fast and it is one of the most putred substances on earth.

I've bought from 1fast and smi2le.biz. Both taste the same. Just dump it in your mouth and chase it with Crystal Light if you don't like it. ****, I do B5 that way and it is much worse than ALCAR.

I don't mind the taste of ALCAR, but it tends to burn my throat if I don't drink anything afterward.

3000g split into three doses throughout the day worked awsome for me.
They were caps so taking it was no prob. Cheap too.

I'd been using 1g per day and saw no effect. Weird because so many people seem to love ALCAR.

Wow, 3 kilograms per day, eh? heheh

Just kiddin, anyways I take somewhere around 3g per day as well. Have been taking it for well over a year; it's just something I don't notice anymore.

Of course, unless I forget to take it.

all these words like addicting and craving are making me a little worried. Do you guys rely on this stuff once you become used to it, so that missing a dose will make you feel bad? And does the user develop a tolerance?

I'd like to give it a try but any supp that makes me rely on it is not good in my book. Missing a day and feeling like **** sounds a little too addicting IMHO. But like I said I haven't tried it so what's it like?

LOL...oops...yeah..I meant 3g.

Hypo: I don't take it right now because I like to save it for cutting periods. It's a pretty subtle effect, so I don't think it's actually "addictive" per se, but it does seem to create a good mood in about 50-60% of the people that take it. Plus, it helps to use fat for fuel.

Same here. I finished my 75 gram bottle in about 4 weeks, and I never felt a thing.

I think the effect is nearly not noticable,but you can get used to it,cause there is an effect and no sides.-that´s how a good supplement should work,and you shouldn´t expect more.

A great addition could be Pyruvate-i used to take.It´s a strong anti.ox. and helps in the Krebs-cycle.

Fastflight, I was talking about ALCAR increasing energy levels. I didn't see that.

I think you're talking about fat reduction. Anarchy stack seems to work for me, so yes I think I've seen that effect.

Is ALCAR supposed to have a strong vinegar/Acetic Acid smell? My Fast purchased powder is pungent. Pure or not, it's a powerful stimulant to me, almost too strong at a gram per dose.

Pungent is a great description for it. I have a kilo from BSL and it's the same way.
