Acetyl L-Carnitine

500mg

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is an amino acid derivative that promotes cellular energy production by aiding in the transport of fat into the mitochondria, where it is converted into ATP, the body's cellular fuel source. ALC is a readily absorbed form of L-Carnitine capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Here, it assists in managing oxidative damage, supports mitochondrial function, and helps maintain normal neurotransmitter activity. Clinical research indicates that ALC contributes to sustaining optimal neurological health.
