Acetyl L-carnitine capsules in high quality and purity
Acetyl-L-carnitine - also called ALCAR for short, is the acetylated form of L-carnitine and is produced naturally in the body. Sometimes, however, you may need to supplement to get the optimal amount.
Benefits of the Acetyl-L-carnitine capsules:
What is Acetyl-L-carnitine?
Unlike other forms of L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine has the great advantage of being able to overcome the blood-brain barrier, ensuring that L-carnitine penetrates the brain. Its acetylene group also contributes to the synthesis of acetylcholine, which acts as an important neurotransmitter.
L-carnitine is formed through the splitting-off of the acetyl group, which is responsible for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where it is utilized for the production of energy (ATP). In principle, L-carnitine can also fulfil other functions which are generally attributed to it, in addition to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
How should acetyl-L-carnitine be taken?
Initially, acetyl-L-carnitine should always be initially taken in a dosage of just 500 mg (1 capsule). The dosage can be increased to the required quantity as needed. The daily dosage should not be ingested all at once but divided into 2 to 3 doses, spread over the day.
The specified standard dosage of 1 capsule three times a day, can be adjusted according to requirements. Older people may need a higher dosage to achieve the same effect as younger people.
Acetyl-L-carnitine should be taken continuously over a minimum period of 3 to 6 months. Acetyl-L-carnitine is also suitable for continuous consumption.
People who have a problem with swallowing the capsules, can pull the capsule apart and dissolve the powder in water. The powder tastes sour and may be mixed with fruit juice if preferred.
Does acetyl-L-carnitine have side effects?
When taken in the recommended dosage, L-carnitine is very safe, even when consumed over an extended period.
People with sensitive stomachs should take acetyl-L-carnitine with, or after, meals.
The ingestion of acetyl-L-carnitine too late in the evening, can lead to disturbed sleep patterns in some people. In such cases, acetyl-L-carnitine should not be taken in the afternoon or evening.
