Acetyl L-Carnitine 1000 mg / Acetyl L-Carnitine 1000 mg

Amino acids are undoubtedly extremely important to the human body – they are the building blocks of proteins that build it and play an important role in the processes that make it function. However, when it comes to health, some of them, such as acetyl L-carnitine and glycine, stand out from the rest.

What is Acetyl L-Carnitine?

It is a form of the amino acid carnitine, which supports energy levels in the body by playing a key role in transporting fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are used as fuel. This is also why carnitine is so popular as a weight loss supplement.

Like most amino acids, carnitine occurs in two main forms – left-handed L-carnitine and right-handed – D-carnitine, with the former being biologically active. Acetyl L-carnitine has the highest bioavailability, which also has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which allows it to help maintain brain health and support memory and cognitive functions.

Carnitine is not an essential amino acid, as the body produces certain amounts that are insufficient under a number of circumstances, such as intense physical exertion, insufficient intake of precursors, a number of health problems, taking certain medications, etc. Natural sources of carnitine are products of animal origin, which places vegans and vegetarians at risk of deficiency.

What are the health effects of acetyl L-carnitine?

→ Increases endurance and energy during exercise – Acetyl L-carnitine’s important role in the energy production process makes it a favorite among athletes and bodybuilders for increasing endurance and energy levels during intense physical activity. A recent scientific study found that taking the amino acid before exercise significantly increased the time to exhaustion in professional football players. This makes Acetyl L-carnitine also very suitable for long-distance runners, swimmers, and cyclists.

→ Supports cognitive function - Acetyl L-carnitine is beneficial not only for the body, but also for the mind. It has been found that daily intake of the amino acid has a positive effect on the time to mental and physical fatigue in people of considerable age. A clinical trial also shows promising results for improving memory and restoring cognitive abilities in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

→ Helps reduce excess weight – Scientific studies show that, when combined with a well-balanced diet and an appropriate exercise program, acetyl L-carnitine can be a very effective means of getting rid of excess weight. The mechanism of action is mainly due to the important role of the amino acid in fat metabolism in the body.

→ Improves blood sugar control - Acetyl L-carnitine has a positive effect on the function of pancreatic beta cells, which in turn improve insulin sensitivity. The amino acid helps normalize blood sugar levels and increases endurance, since, as is well known, exercise has a positive effect on glucose regulation.

The positive effects of acetyl L-carnitine include improving body composition, reducing the risk of muscle injuries, and increasing sperm quality and, consequently, reproductive capabilities in men.

Method of administration:
