Acetyl L-Carnitine
500 mg, 100 vegetarian capsules
Item# 01524

A major cause of aging is a reduction in the
energy-producing components of the cell, resulting in reduced cellular
metabolic activity, and the accumulation of cellular debris. L-carnitine
helps maintain cellular energy metabolism by assisting in the transport
of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria within the cell,
where fats are oxidized to produce the cellular energy (adenosine
triphosphate or ATP).
Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated ester of the
amino acid L-carnitine. Acetyl-L-carnitine is an endogenous
mitochondrial membrane compound that helps maintain mitochondrial
bioenergetics and lowers the increased oxidative stress associated with
aging. Acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine are absorbed into the
bloodstream efficiently. Both are effective at carrying long-chain fatty
acids across the membrane into the mitochondria where they are burned
for energy production and utilized efficiently by the cells. Acetyl-L-carnitine
also crosses the blood-brain barrier and guards against oxidative
damage. Amyloid-beta peptide is a principal component of plaques and is
thought to be a contributor to the aging process. Acetyl-L-carnitine
exerts protective effects against such neurotoxicity and oxidative
stress.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) easily crosses the
blood-brain barrier and may have potential in exerting unique
neuroprotective, neuromodulatory and neurotrophic properties. ALC may
support youthful memory function, improve mitochondrial structure and
function, inhibit age-related oxidative damage, and restore the activity
of key enzymes.
