L-Carnitine?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcetyl L-Carnitine is actually a form of a derivative of a naturally occurring amino acid within the body, known as carnitine. Carnitine plays an essential role in fat metabolism as it basically functions as a transporter for fatty acids within the body. This compound actually transports fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells, which is where cells get their energy. Within the body, it is primarily produced within the kidneys and within the liver. Carnitine is produced naturally by the body from amino acids such as methionine and lysine. Acetyl L-Carnitine supplements are ideal however, as they ensure the body has a constant supply of this highly beneficial ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-does-it-work\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcetyl L-Carnitine basically helps the body to metabolize body fat as you exercise and exert yourself physically. It is able to do this by lessening the passage of long chain fatty acids through the walls of the mitochondria within the cells. During the initial stages of exercise, glycogen stores quickly diminish and so the body is forced to find an alternate source of energy, which it gets in the form of body fat. Your endurance will help determine how much fat you actually use up. Acetyl L-Carnitine however, basically helps to ensure that you burn more fat and therefore not only lose weight, but also that you have more energy in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of Acetyl L-Carnitine?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many benefits associated with this supplement, and whilst some of them we’ve already looked at, others you may be surprised to learn of.

It helps ease long chain fatty acid passages through mitochondrial cell walls, meaning that the cells can utilize them quicker and more efficiently. Put simply, it allows the body to burn off more body fat for energy than it would ordinarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-energy-levels\"\u003eIncreased Energy Levels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother great benefit of Acetyl L-Carnitine is that as it allows more fat to be utilized by the body for energy, you will have more energy than you would have had previously. Simply put, your energy will come from your stored body fat reserves, so by exercising you will be fuelling your workouts with your fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Enhanced-mental-focus\"\u003eEnhanced Mental Focus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemember, we’re comprised of billions of microscopic cells and this includes our brains. Acetyl L-Carnitine supplementation can therefore enhance brain focus and health so you will think clearer, concentrate more, and will just generally enjoy more mental health benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-testosterone-production\"\u003eIncreased Testosterone Production\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor men with low testosterone levels, studies have also found that Acetyl L-Carnitine could help to boost natural testosterone levels, with levels thought to begin increasing in a matter of weeks with regular supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-mass\"\u003eIncreased Muscle Mass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two ways in which this supplement is able to promote increases in lean muscle mass and definition. The first way is simply down to the fact that, as the supplement ramps up your metabolism, the more energy you have, the more efficient your workouts in the gym will become, and therefore the more muscle you will be able to build. The second reason however, is down to the fact that it helps increase testosterone levels. Testosterone is the dominant male sexual health hormone that plays a key role in a number of processes, including muscle growth and repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, to summarize, the main benefits are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased fat loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved mental health and function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased testosterone production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps to support cognitive health and\/or brain function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-and-when\"\u003eHow and when should you take it?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHealth Canada Recommended Dose (capsules):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 - 4 Capsule(s) 1 - 2 time(s) per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHealth Canada Recommended Dose (powder):\u003c\/strong\u003e Adults: 2 - 4 Scoop(s) 1 time(s) per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Vs\"\u003eL-Carnitine VS Acetyl L-Carnitine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople may find themselves confused by L-Carnitine and Acetyl L-Carnitine, wondering what the main differences are. Put simply, if you ever see the two together on store shelves, and wonder what the difference between the two is, the short answer is that they both come from the same amino acid, but happen to function differently. L-Carnitine provides the fat loss benefits, whereas the Acetyl L-Carnitine provides those same benefits, with the added bonus of being processed, so that it penetrates the blood-brain barrier quicker, and therefore also provides mental health benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Stack\"\u003eWhat can you stack it with?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn reality, you can stack Acetyl L-Carnitine with a number of other supplements, including potent fat burners.

Just because we can manufacture it naturally however, this does not mean that we won’t benefit by increasing the amounts that are present within our bodies. This amino acid is found in each and every cell within the human body, and it plays a number vital roles in our health and well-being, and not just those that happen to be related to the health of the brain either. In actual fact, over the years, as well as proving very beneficial for our mental health and well-being, L-Tyrosine has also been found to help increase a person’s muscle mass and post-workout recovery rates in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-does-it-work\"\u003eHow does L-Tyrosine work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-Tyrosine works in a number of different ways, and can therefore provide a number of different benefits to the human body, which we’ll be looking at in just a moment. To begin with, Tyrosine helps the body to manufacture vital neurotransmitters that help to regulate your mood, concentration, and focus levels. For example, one of these neurotransmitters is dopamine, which is a chemical that helps us to feel happy and relaxed. Other transmitters include epinephrine and norepinephrine, which help regulate stress responses. Another vital role associated with L-Tyrosine, is that it plays a vital role in protein synthesis, in which the body synthesizes new muscle proteins to replace old or damaged ones. In total, around 20 amino acids are required for protein synthesis to occur, and Tyrosine is one of those 20 and is one of the most important. Protein synthesis is not only essential for muscle growth and repair, it is also vital for the growth and regeneration of new cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the main benefits of L-Tyrosine?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many different benefits associated with L-Tyrosine supplements, so let’s now take a look at some of the most prominent examples.

Dopamine for example, is a neurotransmitter that helps us to feel happy, relaxed, focussed, and content, and so the happier we feel, the less likely we will be to suffer from mental health disorders such as stress or depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-muscle-mass\"\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother key benefit of L-Tyrosine, is the fact that it has been proven to increase a person’s muscle mass, due to the fact that it plays a vital role in protein synthesis. When muscle tissues become damaged and destroyed when we exercise and workout, they need to be rebuilt and replaced by bigger and stronger tissues, which is what happens via protein synthesis. If protein synthesis does not take place however, the muscles cannot be replaced or rebuilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Increased-post-workout\"\u003eIncreased post workout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only can protein synthesis help assist with muscle growth, it can also assist with muscle repair, and it can therefore allow you to recover from a workout much quicker than usual.

L-Dopa for example, is a chemical that is required by the body to produce dopamine, which as we know, is a neurotransmitter that helps elevate a person’s mood. L-Dopa is actually manufactured from L-Tyrosine, and the main differences are the fact that L-Tyrosine plays a key role in the production of various other neurotransmitters, as well as protein synthesis, whereas L-Dopa is based predominantly around the production of dopamine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Stack\"\u003eWhat can it be stacked with?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those of you looking for a nootropic stack that benefits the brain and your mental health, L-tyrosine can be stacked with \u003ca class=\"alink\" href=\"5-htp\" title=\"5-HTP\"\u003e5-HTP\u003c\/a\u003e, as well as other natural mood enhancers, such as St John’s Wort.

The body can still naturally synthesize choline, however it can only synthesize it in small dosages, of which the amounts produced simply are not high enough to be beneficial. Choline bitartrate plays a number of vital roles in the human body when it comes to health and fitness, yet despite this, studies have found that people still aren’t getting enough naturally. As well as being found in supplement form, choline is also naturally present in various foods, including: meat, fish, eggs, peanuts, and some green leafy vegetables. In supplement form however, choline bitartrate is proving to be one of the most popular variations, in which the choline is combined with a salt, in this case, bitrartrate, which ensures that optimal amounts can be absorbed via the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimarily, the most choline within the body can be found within lipid (fat) molecules, which are also known as phospholipids.

Gingko biloba extracts are renowned for their ability to provide general health and well-being benefits to individuals of all ages and genders, which is evident in the fact that the extracts have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for literally hundreds upon hundreds of years. However, more recently, health practitioners and experts have also begun studying the beneficial effects of this natural herbal ingredient, particularly the extracts which are derived from the leaves of the tree. Ginkgo trees also provide an incredibly rancid smelling and inedible fruit. The seed of this fruit however, is the polar opposite to the leaves, as the seeds produced by Ginkgo fruits are toxic and harmful for the human body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"How-it-works\"\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGingko biloba provides a number of different benefits for the human body, and because of this, it functions in a variety of different ways. One very potent and impressive benefit associated with Gingko biloba extract however, is that it has been found to have beneficial effects on a person’s dopamine levels. The human brain utilizes chemical messengers including dopamine when it communicates with different aspects of your body to provide different physiological effects. Dopamine for example, has been proven to play a key role in motor movements as well as various mental processes, including motivation, happiness, and concentration. Lower levels of dopamine have been linked with conditions such as: Parkinson’s, stress, depression, and ADHD. Ginkgo biloba however, has been found to enhance dopamine activity within the brain, ensuring that it remains in the brain longer, and in higher dosages. Dopamine is broken down by a compound known as monoamine oxidase, and experts have found that Gingko can actually function as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, which ensures dopamine levels increase and don’t drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Benefits\"\u003eWhat are the benefits of using Ginkgo Biloba Supplements?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the main benefits associated with Ginkgo supplements include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan id=\"Improved-mental-health\"\u003eImproved mental health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned before, lower than average dopamine levels can result in all kinds of medical issues including: stress, anxiety, and depression.

In fact, it is sometimes known as choline alfoscerate. Basically, it is a combination of choline and a molecule known as \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGlycerylphosphorylcholine\u003c\/span\u003e. It is a phospholipid which is actually isolated from soy. Recently it has created waves in the world of health and fitness as there is very strong evidence to suggest that this supplement not only supports cognitive health and function – making it great for the brain, it also helps to promote increases in muscle strength and power outputs, and it can potentially help stimulate the production of growth hormone, which is essential for muscle growth and recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpha GPC works in a variety of ways. Because of its molecular structure, it contains a lipid tail which enables neuronal cell membranes to incorporate it and absorb it. Now bound to the membranes of said cells, this choline-containing molecule provides the cells with the required compounds needed to enable them to perform acetylcholine neurotransmitter synthesis. Basically, in simple terms, Alpha GPC helps to positively stimulate systems in your body which are responsible for cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and reacting. This is why Alpha GPC is renowned for its Nootropical benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the benefits of Alpha GPC?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a number of key benefits associated with Alpha GPC, these include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImproved cognitive health and function\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, we’ll begin by looking at what helped to get Alpha GPC where it is today. As we looked at above, Alpha GPC works by stimulating the cholinergic system in the body, which is responsible for cognitive health and function. It helps provide cells with the compounds needed for them to function as they should. Alpha GPC can not only improve short and long-term memory, it has also been found to potentially help protect against degenerative conditions affecting the brain such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s. This in itself, makes it a very promising supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncreased strength and power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo far, we’ve focussed on the cognitive health benefits of Alpha GPC, but now we’re going to look at the reason why bodybuilders and strength athletes are also supplement with this product. Studies have found that Alpha GPC can help individuals to generate more explosive strength and power. In fact, one study determined that Alpha GPC supplementation could help individuals generate as much as 14% more power during the concentric (positive) part of a resistance-based exercise such as the bench press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncreased energy levels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne lesser-known benefit of Alpha GPC supplementation is the fact that it can also help to increase your energy levels and help fight fatigue. Individuals suffering with an iron deficiency suffer with fatigue. Vegans and people that don’t consume much red meat often suffer from anaemia and fatigue due to a lack of iron. Alpha GPC is ideal because it helps to increase the rates of absorption in the body of nonheme iron, which is iron found in plant-based sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFights fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClearer thinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased nonheme iron uptakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthy brain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents cognitive decline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps promote an increase in HGH production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow and when should it be taken?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpha GPC can be taken individually, though for optimal results, experts do recommend it be stacked with other products.
