ALCAR is N-acetyl-L-carnitine, a form of L-carnitine found ubiquitously in mammalian tissues that is important for energy production. It is important for energy production to reduce fatigue. This amino acid is known for assisting the body to convert fat into energy. Carrying fatty acids across walls of the mitochondria, where they become oxidized and used for energy. The acetylated form of L-Carnitine is known to be best used by the brain and nerves. It seems to be able to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and neuronal membranes to enhance cognitive function and reduce neurological decline.
ALCAR can also increase L-carnitine levels in those who are deficient due to factors such as the use of certain medications, disease, age related cognitive decline.
