| Registered User | Hey guys, I just received some bulk ALCAR, PLCAR and na-RLA this past friday and I want to combine them in a drink for fat loss, energy, and general health but primarily for help with ED issues. I have read some conflicting reports that you should/should not combine these and I was hoping that someone could help clarify this for me. I also read someplace that some of these may promote hair loss and to add biotin. This is very confusing! This drink (1 gm ALCAR, 2 gm PLCAR and .3 gram NA-RLA with some lecethin granules thrown in all twice/day) is going to be pretty much the only supplements that I am going to use for awhile with the exception of Neovar (creatine) , protein powder, green tea pills and super cissus RX . Any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks |

Regarding biotin, the chemical structure of lipoic acid is similar to that of biotin. Consequently, high concentrations of lipoic acid can create competition with biotin for transportation across cell membranes. This is why biotin is sometimes recommended to be taken with lipoic acid. For ED purposes, 3gr daily of PLCAR have been used successfully in clinicals. Altogether, I would do the following two times daily on an empty stomach (taking lipoic acid with meals, for instance, decreases its bioavailability): 1gr ALCAR 1.5g PLCAR 150mg NA-RLA Twice daily.

| Registered User | I read a study that showed that ALCAR+PLCAR combination has a poorer effect against chronic fatique syndrome (CFS) than either of them alone, so there might be something about combining them that is not good. Migght be specific to CFS though... who knows. I just read that carnitine also blocks thryroid hormone at some level, so it's not the wonder drug that I thought, and should be used with moderation. |

| Registered User | ALCAR/PLCAR and CFS: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15039515 The other bit I haven't found any good information on, just some secondhand bits: http://www.cellhealthmakeover.com/ac...carnitine.html "-Carnitine - Alcar and Hyperthyroidism Enlargement of the thyroid (goiter) can be due to many causes, including cancer and iodine deficiency. In some cases, thyroid enlargement occurs without any known cause, so-called benign goiter. Treatment of benign goiter generally consists of taking thyroid hormone pills. This causes the thyroid gland to become less active, and the goiter shrinks. However, there may be undesirable effects as well. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone) can develop, including heart palpitations, nervousness, weight loss, and bone breakdown. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found evidence that use of L-carnitine could alleviate many of these symptoms. This 6-month study evaluated the effects of L-carnitine in 50 women who were taking thyroid hormone for benign goiter. The results showed that a dose of 2 or 4 g of carnitine daily protected participants' bones and reduced other symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Carnitine is thought to affect thyroid hormone by blocking its action in cells. This suggests a potential concern: Carnitine might be harmful for people who have low or borderline thyroid levels to begin with. This possibility has not been well explored as yet." |

| Registered User | Thanks so much for the replies guys. However, as I stated earlier, it just seems that there doesn't seem to be a real consensus on this . I would think that the combination in the relatively benign doses listed above should be good huh? The last couple of days I mixed 1 - 1.5 alcar / 2 - 2.3 plcar / .3 - .4 NA-RALA grams twice /day but I am now going to adjust the doses down... Anyone know of any conflicts with caffeine/green tea? I have been trying to take the green tea in between the two alcar/pcar etc drinks (mid-day). Finally, what about cycling? Thanks Again!! ![]() ![]() |
