Acetyl-l-carnitine Benefits
Acetyl-L-carnitine can help the body turn fat into energy, as it plays a vital role in the production of energy from long-chain fatty acids. It can also increase the activity of some nerve cells in the nervous system, making it an excellent addition to any diet.
What is Acetyl-L-carnitine?
Acetyl-L-carnitine, ALCAR or ALC, is an acetylated form of L-carnitine. The human body produces traces of it naturally, but it is also available as a dietary supplement.
Acetyl-L-carnitine is created in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine and is found most abundantly in tissues that use fatty acids as the main fuel, for example, the skeletal and cardiac muscles. Blood plasma esterases break down Acetyl -L-carnitine to carnitine, which then transports those fatty acids to the mitochondria to be broken down for fuel for your cells.
