I remember a study that showed 2 grams of plcar along with 2 grams of alcar increased androgen receptors and outperformed testosterone injections in the erections department over a 3 month period.
Carnitine esters are amazing things...and this is my favorite one.I remember a study that showed 2 grams of plcar along with 2 grams of alcar increased androgen receptors and outperformed testosterone injections in the erections department over a 3 month period.
Agreed I placed my order earlier today.Carnitine esters are amazing things...and this is my favorite one.
I'm not dsade, but they can be taken together:dsade any issue stacking ALCAR & PLCAR?
Oh and Glycomyx was a hit...at least with me while it was under the Southland Performance name. I honestly shed a tear when it went away.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15072869/A total of 120 patients were randomized into three groups. The mean patient age was 66 years (range 60 to 74). Group 1 was given testosterone undecanoate 160 mg/day, the second group was given propionyl-L-carnitine 2 g/day plus acetyl-L-carnitine 2 g/day. The third group was given a placebo (starch). Drugs and placebo were given for 6 months...
Carnitines proved significantly more active than testosterone in improving nocturnal penile tumescence and International Index of Erectile Function score. Testosterone significantly increased the prostate volume and free and total testosterone levels and significantly lowered serum luteinizing hormone; carnitines did not...
CONCLUSIONS: Testosterone and, especially, carnitines proved to be active drugs for the therapy of symptoms associated with male aging.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15039515/METHODS: In an open, randomized fashion we compared 2 g/d acetyl-L-carnitine, 2 g/d propionyl-L-carnitine, and its combination in 3 groups of 30 CFS patients during 24 weeks...
RESULTS: Clinical global impression of change after treatment showed considerable improvement in 59% of the patients in the acetylcarnitine group and 63% in the propionylcarnitine group, but less in the acetylcarnitine plus propionylcarnitine group (37%). Acetylcarnitine significantly improved mental fatigue (p =.015) and propionylcarnitine improved general fatigue (p =.004). Attention concentration improved in all groups, whereas pain complaints did not decrease in any group. Two weeks after treatment, worsening of fatigue was experienced by 52%, 50%, and 37% in the acetylcarnitine, propionylcarnitine, and combined group, respectively. In the acetylcarnitine group, but not in the other groups, the changes in plasma carnitine levels correlated with clinical improvement.
CONCLUSIONS: Acetylcarnitine and propionylcarnitine showed beneficial effect on fatigue and attention concentration. Less improvement was found by the combined treatment. Acetylcarnitine had main effect on mental fatigue and propionylcarnitine on general fatigue.
Always welcome to reply my man, you're a great source of knowledge/info. Appreciate the read.I'm not dsade, but they can be taken together:

But it may not be ideal, depending on what you're looking for from them:

Thanks man. That second study is interesting, and I checked, it was 2g of each for combined treatment, not 1g of each, so they were receiving more total carnitine than the other groups. It looks like they took the carnitine(s) split after breakfast and dinner, which means the combined group took both ALCAR and PLCAR at the same time. I'm wondering if taking them at different times would have yielded better results, although I could be completely wrong here. Perhaps maybe 2g ALCAR in the AM and 2g PLCAR pre-workout, or whatever fits your personal needs/timing. Maybe dsade could weigh in on this as well.Always welcome to reply my man, you're a great source of knowledge/info. Appreciate the read.
Odd...combined treatment had less effect on fatigue than using each independently. Def. something to think about.
Mix in the entire contents. Should be about 25 grams.dsade
So I received my PLCAR today with the Glycomax sample, I'm happy to test it out pre-workout and report back (most likely Saturday as that's a big chest workout), just wondering how much of the Glycomax am I supposed to take? Thanks!
How close to bedtime can it "safely" be taken (to not result in insomnia)?Dosage is 1-1.5 grams twice per day (preworkout is a fantastic time).
PLCAR has never really kept me awake in the same manner that ALCAR does, but everyone is affected differently.Just got my package with PLCAR + GlycoMx. I have a couple of questions.
How close to bedtime can it "safely" be taken (to not result in insomnia)?
I can break out the scale, but approximately what measure equates to the 1 - 1.5g dose? 1/4tsp, 1/2tsp? I can always double check against the scale, just wondered if you already had a rough estimate.
I saw some posts that talked about 2g doses, or is that the daily goal in the 1 - 1.5g twice daily dose you noted?
Thanks!
I hit a PR today on the bench press did 315 for 10. I used 4 grams of PLCAR.
dsade what is the upper limit on a single dose? Thanks!Excellent, keep it coming
you mean effectivess past which there is no additional benefit? I would say 5-6 grams.dsade what is the upper limit on a single dose? Thanks!
not just efficacy, but also the GRAS dosage. Also any threshold above which negative side effects have been encountered (IE: GI distress, headaches, BP spikes, etc).you mean effectivess past which there is no additional benefit? I would say 5-6 grams.
Would be interested in this as wellnot just efficacy, but also the GRAS dosage. Also any threshold above which negative side effects have been encountered (IE: GI distress, headaches, BP spikes, etc).
Thanks.
100% same here. I was mentally fatigued / yawning through my workouts even with 400+mg caffeine.This stuff is amazing my workouts are so much better and I'm not taking any caffeine along with it.
Correct.100% same here. I was mentally fatigued / yawning through my workouts even with 400+mg caffeine.
I chalked it up to needing a bit of a caffeine break, but since taking the break and cutting out PWO crap, I just take PLCAR, Creatine, and am running on alphaburn... and my god, my workouts have been insane!
This is going to be a part of your PWO correct dsade?
Due to the effects on NO, could this decrease blood pressure?
Should dilate blood vessels and therefore decrease blood preassure.Due to the effects on NO, could this decrease blood pressure?
Bummer, I didn't realize he was sold out, I was going to order some more too.Will there be any more glycomyx soon?? Needs my purple hulk powder lol.
ramses31 Wimsicle dsadeI just received my PLCAR today but there is no scoop in the tub. I completely emptied it out and even used a sifter to make sure I wasn't missing it. I don't have a scale so can someone give me an idea of how much 1-1.5 grams is? I want to take a dose pre workout today so if anyone knows, that would be great. Thanks
My tub says that the 1 rounded scoop is 1.1g, but I didn't break out the scale to check it. I took 2 scoops of it this morning, added to my PWO, thinking I was getting 2g+ ,but I guess I had just over 1g. That might explain my lack of results when I tried 1 scoop by itself last week.1.8gm would be less than a flat teaspoon, maybe 3/4? I weighed a flat scoop (my tub had one), and it was approx 600mg.
Id guess 1.5gm to be just over half a teaspoon.
Edit: I packed three of the 600mg flat scoops into a teaspoon, was over 3/4 full. 1 flat teaspoon would fit approx 2gm. Hope that helps lol

I can break out my scale later this afternoon and find out the measurement, unless dsade or someone else beats me to itEdit: Im using imperial measures, not gonna be helpful if youre US.
offredjo was missing his scoop and was asking what measurement (tsp) == 1g.Should be a heaping scoop.
I didnt bring mine with me for the weeekend (no real chance to workout), but I will be back sunday and can weigh a scoop size I take . A "rounded" weight and a flat scoop rate in gramsoffredjo was missing his scoop and was asking what measurement (tsp) == 1g.
According to my scale a flat 1/8 tsp (US) weighed in just over 500 mg (like 505). So 1/4 TSP would be your 1g amount and 3/8 TSP would be 1.5gI just received my PLCAR today but there is no scoop in the tub. I completely emptied it out and even used a sifter to make sure I wasn't missing it. I don't have a scale so can someone give me an idea of how much 1-1.5 grams is?

Thanks for the info I was just about to ask as mine didn't have a scoop thank u!According to my scale a flat 1/8 tsp (US) weighed in just over 500 mg (like 505). So 1/4 TSP would be your 1g amount and 3/8 TSP would be 1.5g
HTH.
NP, glad to help!Thanks for the info I was just about to ask as mine didn't have a scoop thank u!
Did you do a weigh of the provided scoop measure (flat)? Just curious what you mightve got.According to my scale a flat 1/8 tsp (US) weighed in just over 500 mg (like 505). So 1/4 TSP would be your 1g amount and 3/8 TSP would be 1.5g
HTH.
I did not. I was just trying to find out the measurement for 1g. But I can later tonight. Stuck on a work call at the minute.Did you do a weigh of the provided scoop measure (flat)? Just curious what you mightve got.
Thatd be cool if you did. But if you come up with a different figure to me well obviously your scale is wrong.I did not. I was just trying to find out the measurement for 1g. But I can later tonight. Stuck on a work call at the minute.
LOL, ok, will do. Mine is just a cheap little scale. but accurate enough for my purposesThatd be cool if you did. But if you come up with a different figure to me well obviously your scale is wrong.
Sweet, scale concurrence!just did the test (while still on this call LOL). Using he scoop in the tub, and leveling it flat, it came in right at 600mg. That was what you said, right?
