Acetyl-l-Carnitine -
Acetyl-l-carnitine is the acetylated form of l-carnitine, and the two compounds share similar energy and metabolism promoting properties. Found naturally in the body, acetyl- l-carnitine supports the availability of acetyl-CoA, an important energy generating metabolite. In addition, it supports healthy mitochondrial function and cell membrane stability.
What Is It?
Acetyl-l-carnitine is the acetylated form of l-carnitine. The
two compounds share similar energy and metabolism
promoting properties. Found naturally in the body,
acetyl-l-carnitine supports the availability of acetyl-CoA,
an important energy generating metabolite. In addition, it
supports proper mitochondrial function and cell
membrane stability. The acetyl group from acetyl-l-carnitine
is also responsible for the production of acetylcholine,
an important neurotransmitter for optimal mental
functioning.*
Uses For Acetyl-l-Carnitine
Support For Cognitive Function, Memory, And Emotional
Well-Being: The efficacy of long-term acetyl-l-carnitine
supplementation was determined in a double blind,
placebo-controlled, randomized trial involving 130 elderly
individuals for a one-year period. In this trial,
acetyl-l-carnitine demonstrated the ability to slow
negative cognitive changes, and supported memory and
attention. In another randomized double blind study,
three-month acetyl-l-carnitine supplementation provided
statistically significant support for mental function,
including memory and attention, compared to placebo.
A multicenter trial of 481 volunteers showed significant
memory, behavioral and emotional support with
acetyl-l-carnitine supplementation. In an evaluation of 28
elderly individuals using acetyl-l-carnitine or placebo, the
supplemented group experienced enhanced emotional
well-being.*
