What is Acetyl-L-Carnitine?

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a form of the amino acid derivative L-Carnitine. It is naturally produced in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is considered a highly bioavailable form of L-Carnitine, meaning it is easily absorbed and utilised by the body. Only the L-isomer of carnitine is biologically active in humans.

What does Acetyl-L-Carnitine do?

Acetyl-L-Carnitine plays an important role in energy metabolism. It helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, the structures within cells responsible for energy production.

The body produces Acetyl-L-Carnitine primarily in the liver and kidneys, after which it is distributed to tissues such as the muscles, brain and heart.
