Acetyl-L-carnitine is the biologically active form of the amino
acid L-carnitine. It can cross the blood-brain barrier, making it ideal for
promoting neurological health. Acetyl-L-carnitine has antioxidant activity and
is important for heart and brain function. It also produces energy at the
cellular level.

Carnitine and its derivatives exist in a carnitine ?pool? in the
body. Cellular enzymes and transporters rapidly convert the carnitine to the
required form and transport it to the tissues. Carnitine and its derivatives
play a key role in fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism and energy
production and are critical components for mitochondrial metabolism.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the most important derivative of carnitine and
occurs naturally in the body. Because ALC is considered to have greater bioavailability
and is therefore more able to cross neurological membranes, it is the preferred
form to take for promoting neurological health.
The levels of carnitine and its derivatives are critical to
normal biological functioning. Carnitine is present in the diet in red meats
and dairy products, and humans can make carnitine from the amino acids lysine
and methionine. However, carnitine deficiency can occur with metabolic
disorders, and in conditions such as diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain) and other
complications of diabetes.
ALC has been studied in various conditions including
neurological and cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer?s, dementia, depression,
neuropathies, and cardiovascular disease, as well as with respect to the
fatigue and pain associated with conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome
and sciatica.
