This stuff works. Leave tribulus and take this if you want to raise you t levels, it's also a good fat burner. Dosage for 4 weeks: 2,5grams each day first week, 2 grams e/d second week, 1,5 grams e/d third week, 1 gram e/d fourth, one week stop then repeat cycle.  | ||

I agree Stacco, I used to take 3 grams a day along with 50-100mg of pregnenolone. Acne, irritability and headaches forced me to slow it down to a more sensible dose. Very powerful stuff, ALC. The main downside is that it is very expensive at 3 grams a day. If I go on another schedule of it, I'll get a T level check before and after to see if it does increase the levels. Will report any results. | ||

Hey Backdoc, what brand of ALC did you try, cause here in Italy it's quite expensive and you usually have higher quality products there. Thanks! | ||

i thought ALC was only used as immune system enhancer and as a detox. What else is it good for? Can people actually make gains with this? | ||

ALC will burn fat while preserving muscle tissue, you'll notice great muscle hardness when you use it | ||

I wrote the "expensive" regimen before. Just look up. You'll have good results also at 1 gram a day for 6 weeks with one week stop but not so noticeable like the expensive dosage | ||

cool thanks. I know it's expensive, but if it's effective and i can shed some fat with it without the crazy haywire feeling i get from an ECA i'll check it out. thanks | ||

I forgot to say to divide your intake by 500mg and allow at least one hour and half between dosages, cause if you take more at one time you could have headache and dizziness! Ciao [This message has been edited by Stacco (edited September 30, 2000).] | ||

That may have been my problem Stacco...I was taking 1500 mg twice a day. I'll divide it up into six 500 mg dosages when I go back on it. By the way, I've taken both Jarrow brand and Intensive Nutrition brand and they both gave me the same results---which I believe to be very good. | ||

sorry, but what is the difference between Acetyl L-Carnitine, and regular L-carnitine. I've never really heard of ALC. Danny | ||

The difference between the regular L-Carnitine and ALC is mainly one: the effectiveness. You can use l-carnitine as long as you want but you can't use ALC for more than a month or a month and half (depends on dosages), after that you have to stop for a week or ten days before another cycle. thanks for the brand names backdoc | ||

Can you buy ALC at any supplement store, or must it be bought from certain places. Last time I picked up some carnitine, I didnt see any of this stuff. If this is better then regular carnitine, i think i should give it a shot. Danny | ||

Is acetyl L-carnitine worth taking while not really lowering your carb intake. I've heard its good to take it when doing the low carb thing, but how about while not lowering carbs? Danny | ||

I've heard to take it on an empty stomach. Probably spread out through the day. | ||

It's suggested to take ACL similarly to the ECA stack, which means 500mg half an hour before meals, and 1gm 45 mins before workout; it works better on en empty stomach but you usually do it for a morning session of aerobic work [This message has been edited by Stacco (edited October 04, 2000).] | ||
