Description

AICAR is a lab-made compound (not a true peptide) that makes your cells behave as if they’re running low on energy, which switches on a key metabolic ‘master switch’ (AMPK). This has made it interesting for exercise science, metabolism research, and even heart protection; it was tested in a large human trial to protect the heart during bypass surgery. It isn’t approved for any use and is banned in competitive sports because it can mimic the effects of training.
