Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a derivative of the amino acid L-Carnitine, with a greater bioavailability due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, and is important for brain function as well in the production and metabolism of energy.1,2,3,4,5,6
While acetyl-L-carnitine is naturally produced in the body, evidence shows that additional supplementation of acetyl-L-carnitine may be beneficial in preventing age-related declines in energy metabolism and cognitive function. In addition to protecting the brain from oxidative stress, Acetyl-L-carnitine increases energy production in the form of ATP, accelerating the body’s metabolism and increasing endurance.9,10,11,12 One study, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, showed the benefits of Acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation with professional athletes by delaying onset of exhaustion.13
