What is AICAR, and how does it work?
AICAR is a compound that affects how cells produce and use energy. It works by:
- Turning on a pathway in the body that increases energy use
- Helping the body burn more fat
- Improving how muscles use energy, especially during exercise
- Supporting better blood sugar control in research models
Because of this, it is often studied for metabolism and endurance-related effects.
How should it be stored?
Store AICAR in a cool, dry place or in the freezer,r depending on the form.
After mixing it with liquid, keep it in the refrigerator (2–8°C) and use within a limited time.
