Aicar – 50mg

Description

AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a naturally occurring nucleotide intermediate and potent AMPK activator. Once inside the cell, it converts to ZMP — an AMP analog that switches on AMPK, the body’s master energy sensor. Preclinical research highlights its potential for improving insulin sensitivity, boosting fat oxidation, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, and enhancing endurance capacity. Currently for research use only.

Highlights
  • AMPK Activation — Acts as an AMP analog that directly activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), triggering a cascade of metabolic responses that promote energy production, fat burning, and cellular homeostasis.
  • Endurance & Exercise Mimetic — Preclinical studies in sedentary animal models show significant improvements in running endurance, driven by AMPK-PPARδ pathway activation that induces oxidative gene expression and slow-twitch muscle fiber adaptation — without physical training.
  • Insulin Sensitivity & Glucose Metabolism — Research suggests AICAR may improve glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells by enhancing glucose transporter function, making it a candidate for studying metabolic conditions like insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
  • Cellular Protection & Anti-tumor Potential — Preclinical data indicates AICAR may trigger apoptosis in certain cancer cell lines (notably B-cell CLL) via AMPK-mediated pathways, and may also provide cytoprotective effects under conditions of ischemia and cellular stress.
