Douglas Labs Acetyl L Carnitine
Acetyl-L-carnitine plays a key role in maintaining normal brain and nerve function during aging, as many well-designed human and animal studies have shown consistently. Acetyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring metabolite of L-carnitine, and both are present in the diet, particularly in foods of animal origin.
What it is best for:
Acetyl L Carnitine enhances cellular energy and neurotransmitter metabolism, supporting memory, emotional health, and cognitive function.
Acetyl L Carnitine is a component of the carnitine family formed by the acetylation of the amino acid carnitine. It promotes the function of nerve system cells by sustaining cellular energy metabolism in the mitochondria, and ensuring cellular membrane stability. The result of Acetyl-l-Carnitine's effects on the nervous system at the cellular level is safe and natural nutritional support of healthy mental functioning.
Why it works:
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.
