Olympian Labs: Acetyl L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is the ester form of L-Carnitine; a naturally occurring amino acid metabolized from Lysine and Methionine and used extensively in the brain. There is a significant amount of research on L-Carnitine's role in cardiac and skeletal muscle function and in its role in fatty acid metabolism.* N-Acetyl- L-Carnitine's research has focused mainly on its role in brain. Many nutrients have been studied for their potential in supporting brain health.* N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine is one of those nutrients. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine may support mitochondrial efficiency and exhibits antioxidant function within the mitochondria, which may help promote optimal energy levels.* N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine has been suggested to support acetylcholine levels in the brain which may promote brain memory.* N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine appears to be absorbed intact and is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier.
