Key features
- 500mg of acetyl-L-carnitine per capsule
- Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated ester of L-carnitine
- Occurs naturally in the body as part of the mitochondrial membrane
- Carries long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria
- Able to cross the blood-brain barrier
- Supplied as vcaps
L-carnitine and its acetylated form are both absorbed well into the bloodstream. Within cells they act as carriers, ferrying fatty acids across the membrane into the mitochondria, where those fats are used to produce ATP. The acetyl form is often chosen because it also reaches the brain.
Available in a pot of 100 vcaps.
