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 the transfer and utilization of long-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids are then subjected to beta-oxidation for the production of energy.* Since levels of this nutrient decline with age, supplementation is key to receive adequate amounts. Acetyl L-Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid that helps to maintain overall good health by facilitating the transfer of fatty acid groups into the mitochondrial membrane for cellular energy production.* It naturally occurs in red meat and other animal sources. This amino acid is synthesized in the liver and kidney by lysine and methionine along with adequate amounts of vitamins C, B3, B6, and iron. It is mainly used to promote growth and development. It improves fat metabolism in the muscles, heart and other organs; it may help in low-calorie diets and in the prevention of high blood fat and triglyceride levels. Other benefits may include treatment and prevention of some forms of cardiovascular disease; to build muscle and help prevent muscular disease; for protection against liver and kidney disease; for protection against diabetes; to help reduce feelings of hunger and weakness; and as a supplement for those who engage in strenuous exercise, for vegan vegetarians (especially children, pregnant and breast-feeding women), premature infants, for individuals on hemodialysis, and for those with recent severe burns/injuries.
