Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a stabilized form of the amino acid metabolite L-Carnitine and is utilized in the same manner in the body. ALC plays an important role in protecting and supporting brain functions.

Life revolves around one simple premise – we need energy to live. And while energy comes from a wealth of sources, the transfer and utilization of long chain fatty acids plays a vital role in this crucial process. NOW Acetyl L-Carnitine (ACL) does exactly that. As we age, our natural production of ACL gradually shows signs of decline. Incorporating this stabilized form of L-Carnitine into our diet is an effective way to ensure that we’re producing the energy we need to live full and active lives.
