Supports cognitive health and brain function by promoting cellular and neuronal health. Acetyl L-Carnitine is a building block of proteins that support cognitive health and brain function by producing energy and stabilizing cell membranes. It is the acetylated form of L-carnitine, and the two compounds share similar energy- and metabolism-promoting properties. Naturally occurring in the body, acetyl-L-carnitine promotes the availability of acetyl-CoA, an important energy-producing metabolite. Additionally, it supports mitochondrial function and cell membrane stability. The acetyl group from acetyl-L-carnitine is also responsible for the production of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that promotes optimal mental functioning. A multicenter trial involving 481 volunteers indicated that acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation provides memory and behavioral support. In another randomized, double-blind trial, acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation provided statistically significant support for mental functions, including memory and attention, compared to placebo.
