Allergy Research Group Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg Supplement - Metabolism and Energy Support, ALC, Free Form Amino Acid, Vegetarian Capsules - 100 Count

Description

Acetylcarnitine (acetyl-L-carnitine, ALC) is a derivative of carnitine. It is a nutrient and a naturally occurring metabolite involved in lipid, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. Though closely related to L-carnitine, ALC surpasses the metabolic potency of carnitine. Carnitines major role is to link up with fatty acids and transport them into the mitochondria, the cells powerhouses for energy production. Although the brain supposedly synthesizes carnitine, total brain carnitine and brain ALC decline with age. ALC from dietary supplements can raise brain levels of ALC and total carnitines, and do so more efficiently than dietary carnitine. This may be due to the ability of acetyl-L-carnitine to cross the blood-brain barrier more freely than does carnitine. Since 1979, Allergy Research Group has used only the purest, and whenever possible, lowest allergy potential natural ingredients available.
