Vitals - Acetyl-L-carnitine - 60 caps. (500mg)
In nature, about five hundred amino acids occur. Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body, these are referred to by the term 'fundamental amino acids. These fundamental amino acids can be divided into the categories 'essential', 'semi-essential and 'non-essential'.
L-carnitine belongs to the so-called semi-essential amino acids, which means that the body can partly produce them itself and is partly dependent on the diet to be able to meet the daily needs. In food, it mainly occurs in (red) meat and to a much lesser extent in plant-based foods. Acetyl-L-carnitine (also called ALCAR) is the acetylated form of carnitine. In the liver, kidneys and brain carnitine can be synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine, with vitamin C, iron, vitamin B6 and niacin as co-factors. Carnitine can be converted into acetyl-L-carnitine as needed and vice versa.

What is Vitals Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
About 500 amino acids are found in nature. Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body, these are referred to as 'fundamental amino acids. These fundamental amino acids can again be subdivided into the categories 'essential', 'semi-essential and 'non-essential'.
L-carnitine belongs to the so-called semi-essential amino acids, which means that the body can partly produce these itself and partly depends on the diet to meet the daily requirement. In food, it mainly occurs in (red) meat and to a much lesser extent in vegetable foods.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (also called ALCAR) is the acetylated form of carnitine. In the liver, kidneys and brain, carnitine can be synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine, with vitamin C, iron, vitamin B6 and niacin as co-factors. Carnitine can be converted to acetyl-L-carnitine as needed and vice versa. Supplementation with acetyl-L-carnitine has the advantage over L-carnitine in that it crosses the blood-brain barrier more easily.
