Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) supports cellular energy production by assisting in the transport of fat into the mitochondria where it’s converted into ATP (cellular fuel). It helps athletes and people on higher fat or reduced carbohydrate diets to efficiently burn fats for energy production. For this reason, it‘s also very helpful for cancer patients trying to increase fat intake and limit sugar and carbohydrate intake.
ALC is also a highly bioavailable form of carnitine that can cross the blood-brain barrier, where it helps to manage oxidative damage, supports mitochondrial function and helps to maintain normal neurotransmitter activity. Clinical studies suggest ALC helps to maintain optimal neurological health, and helps those with neuropathies that are aggravated by higher carbohydrate intake.
