Maybe ALCAR makes your body consume not enough sugar but that seems unlikely.
> that is just a theory
well if you try to not sleep or only have a short night duration I think the result would be similar. The half life of ALCAR is ~17h so after 24h you no longer have a pharmacologically relevant dose, assuming you take as low as 500mg.
BTW I recently discovered the organelle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome which is actually important in lipid (and therefore glucose) and oxidative metabolism
- LinuxBender 4y agoThe glucose theory may be a good one to test out. I consume almost no glucose in my diet and I take several supplements that effectively also reduce gluconeogenesis. I also use Berberine. I will try a few different methods to boost either glucose or ketones in the brain prior to experimenting with ALCAR again.
