Acetyl L-Carnitine Info!
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (acetyl
carnitine) is a more bioavailable form of the amino acid
L-Carnitine and is involved in many metabolic functions. As an
antioxidant, acetyl carnitine can protect neurons from damage
caused by superoxide radicals. Acetyl carnitine is involved in
other aspects of neuronal metabolism and its molecular structure
resembles the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Also, acetyl
carnitine supplementation supports energy utilization through fatty
acid metabolism in the mitochondria.
Acetyl carnitine is the
most easily assimilated and the most stable form of
carnitine.
