Acetyl-L- Carnitine


  • Acetyl-L-Carnitine (sometimes referred to as ALC) is a high-energy derivative of L-Carnatine, an important substance which occurs naturally within the body, and performs and aids in an astonishing variety of metabolic processes.
  • The main function of the Carnitine family in the body is to aid in transporting long chain fatty acids, which are converted by cells to provide energy, one of the major sources of energy used by muscles. Thus, ALC is used and often highly recommended for prevention of fatigue, boosting energy, and maintaining the body.
  • ALC increases the use of fat as an energy source, and thus prevents fat buildup with the heart, liver, and muscle, and also aids in lowering cholesterol.
  • Because men normally have a greater muscle mass than women, they usually require more ALC. Vegetarians are also likely to require more ALC supplementation because vegetable proteins contain no carnitine
  • Medical studies also indicate that ALC helps in stimulation of acetyl-choline, a brain neurotransmitter, and help to restore cognitive function and improvement of age-related impairment.
  • Lastly, ALC plays a vital role in the maturation of sperm within the male reproductive tract, specifically the mobility of the sperm. Additional ALC can aid in treating immobility (infertility).
