Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a natural substance present throughout the human body that plays a vital role in normal brain and nervous system function. It is also essential for the production of energy from fats needed to support brain and heart function.
The majority of acetyl-L-carnitine and other carnitine derivatives must come from the diet. Under conditions of stress and illness, the body's ability to make acetyl-L-carnitine may be significantly impaired and dietary sources become critically important.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is important for:
Energy production: Fatty acids serve as one of the primary energy sources for the body. Acetyl-L-carnitine transports individual fatty acids for energy production.*
Brain and nervous system: In addition to supporting energy production, acetyl-L-carnitine is used for neurotransmitter synthesis to maintain healthy brain function.*
Healthy aging: The body's ability to synthesize acetyl-L-carnitine declines with age and tissue levels fall significantly.*
