Mechanism of Action

AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside) enters cells and is phosphorylated to ZMP, which mimics AMP and directly activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). AMPK activation promotes fatty acid oxidation, glucose uptake, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy — replicating many molecular benefits of exercise.

Clinical Benefits

  • Direct AMPK pathway activation
  • Exercise mimetic properties
  • Enhances fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake
  • Supports mitochondrial biogenesis
