Clinically Supported Cognitive, Neurological, and Mitochondrial Support with Bioavailable Acetyl-L-Carnitine*
What It Does
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) supports mitochondrial energy production, cognitive performance, nerve comfort, and mood balance.* Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes ALC a valuable nutrient for neurological health and mental well-being, especially in individuals with increased metabolic or cognitive demands.*
How It Works
• Bioavailable Carnitine Form: ALC is the acetylated form of L-carnitine, facilitating mitochondrial transport of long-chain fatty acids to be used as fuel while efficiently crossing the blood-brain barrier for neurological benefits.*[1,2]
• Cognitive and Neurotransmitter Support: ALC contributes to acetylcholine synthesis, a neurotransmitter important for learning and memory, and has been shown to support cognitive function in multiple clinical trials.*[3–5]
• Nerve Health and Neuroprotection: ALC supports nerve function and neurophysiological markers, with trials showing improvements in nerve at doses of 1500 mg per day or higher.*[6,7]
• Mood and Emotional Balance: ALC may influence serotonin and dopamine pathways, and has shown positive results in clinical trials supporting mood and mental well-being.*[8–10]
• Antioxidant Activity: ALC supports glutathione and CoQ10 levels and improves oxidative stress markers, contributing to cellular protection and redox balance.*[11,12]
Who It’s For
Ideal for individuals seeking support for cognitive clarity, nerve comfort, mood, or mitochondrial energy, especially those under metabolic stress, aging populations, or those with elevated cognitive demands.*
Special Features
Each capsule provides 500 mg of highly bioavailable acetyl-L-carnitine, offering a suitable for mirroring dosage in clinical trials for brain, mood, and energy support.*
