Mega-dosing ALCAR

Ive used up to 3.5g/day of alcar, and I notice a slight recomp/mucle gain effect and a bit more energy throughout the day. Im excited for Dsades libido booster as my libido is crap.

On a one-to-one comparison, propionyl-l-carnitine is superior to acetyl-l-carnitine in boosting libido and addressing erectile dysfunction. A combination of the two is, however, recommended. I do not imply this is the only option for libido-boosting. I simply compared the (two) next-generation carnitine forms.

Did you also (mega-dose) any potent anti-oxidant such as alpha lipoic acid during your acetyl-l-carnitine mega-dosing? This is usually recommended to manage the increase in free-radical activity triggered by acetyl-l-carnitine-induced elevation in mitochondrial function.

There are some posts of LEF recommending people separate there ALA doses from there ALCAR doses by about 3 hours... (due to the anti ox at time of stress contradiction or something along those lines, over my head)

It is exactly because of the elevated acetyl-carnitine-induced free-radical activity that an antioxidant such as alpha lipoic acid is usually recommended for simultaneous consumption. As a matter of fact, Life Extension Foundation's premier product for mitochondrial protection, Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer, combines two advanced carnitine forms (acetyl-carnitine-HCL and acetyl-carnitine-arginate dihydrochloride) and r-lipoic-acid, amongst others. So LEF basically combined potent antioxidants with ALCAR and acetyl-carntine-arginate, in line with the classical recommendation.

In any case, I would appreciate a reference of any Life Extension Foundation recommendation for separating carnitine and antioxidants. That would help clarify a lot of things.
 
Some random forum user. Thanks for the information :D
