Acetyl-L-Carnitine is the ester form of L-Carnitine; a naturally occurring amino acid metabolized from Lysine and Methionine and used extensively by the brain. There is a significant amount of research on L-Carnitine's role in cardiac and skeletal muscle function and in its role in fat metabolism/loss. N-Acetyl- L-Carnitine's research has focused mainly on its role in brain. Many nutrients have been studied for their potential in supporting brain health in older adults. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine is one of those nutrients. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects neurons from oxidative damage. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine benefits mitochondrial efficiency and functions as an antioxidant within the mitochondria, helping neurons maintain optimal energy levels. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine increases acetylcholine levels in the brain to support brain memory. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine appears to be absorbed intact and is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier.
