NOW Foods – Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Transports Fatty Acids
Boosts Cellular Energy
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a modified amino acid that supports cellular energy production by assisting in the transport of fat into the mitochondria where it is converted into ATP (cellular fuel). ALC is a highly bioavailable form of carnitine that can cross the blood-brain barrier, where it helps to manage oxidative damage, supports mitochondrial function and helps to maintain normal neurotransmitter activity. Clinical studies suggest that ALC helps to maintain optimal neurological health.

This ALC is pretty good. The quality of composition and ingredients is good and I feel more energetic and calmer. That said, the pill size is large and it’s a bit pricey. I take it in the morning on an empty stomach with a little water. Even though the pills are big, I find these capsules easy to swallow. They leave no aftertaste and do not cause acid reflux. The bottle is large and has an easy to open but secure flip top cap. Delivery of the package was fast as usual. In summary, I would buy it again.

Great quality and ingredient by NOW. L-carnitine is a protein chain of amino acids found in the body that converts fat into energy. Capsule size and taste are ok. The packaging is solid. The composition is 500mg. Incredible benefit when used with proper diet. Excellent aid for muscle training and fat loss. Provides good energy, better muscle movement, clear focus on brain function and improves heart conditions.

was diagnosed with an autoimmune neurological disease last year. After doing a lot of research on good quality supplements for nerve damage, especially related to motor neuron damage in muscles, I purchased NOW Aceytl-L-Carnitine. It helped me with my muscle cramps. I have more energy and have lost weight since taking this product along with an anti-inflammatory diet. Highly recommend this to everyone!

use this supplement because I have read that it helps relieve nerve damage. When I keep a decent diet and workout routine, it also helps improve my energy levels. I like the benefits and the quality of the ingredients, but I especially like the price for the size. I also love the muscle benefits.

USES: Helps improve cognitive function in the elderly and increase dopamine release. White colour. ORIGIN OF PRODUCT: United States. OPTIMAL ABSORPTION: do not take with protein foods. WHY GREAT: The acetylated form of L-carnitine (acetyl-L-carnitine) is more potent than L-carnitine. EXPERIENCE: This product has helped maintain my mother’s cognitive function and memory.

Good quality product. The pills are small and easy to swallow, they are also tasteless. It is best to take the supplement in the morning on an empty stomach for better absorption. I take them as part of my chronic fatigue supplement regimen and I’m already seeing results. I have a lot more energy and less brain fog. The best part about these supplements is the mood boost. I feel much happier even on days when I don’t have much energy.

L-carnitine is good for recovery after training, I have less fatigue as well as better muscle strength. This formulation can be taken throughout the day even if you are not training. This is my second time buying this product, I highly recommend it to people who exercise often and those looking for better energy production.

have been taking acetyl L-carnitine for many years. I used to take this supplement for slimming purposes as L carnitine is known to help burn fat in the body. But in 2015, I contracted a chronic neurological autoimmune disease, so most of my nerves in my body are impaired. My memory and cognitive function are impaired. I also have severe nerve pain daily. Therefore, I started taking more doses of this supplement. My cognitive function is not cured but has improved quite a bit. I also lost a little weight. So yes, I will continue to take this Acetyl L-carnitine. I hope this helps you 🙂

Significant changes in results after switching from L-Carnitine to this more inclusive product. Aside from the benefits to my workouts and post-workout recovery, overall this product works better for me and I will definitely keep it in my regimen. After more than a few months the results speak for themselves and I definitely encourage others on the same path to give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. Just be aware that you need to maintain about 1.5-2 months before you see noticeable results – it’s worth it 😉

It certainly works but should not be taken with levothyrixine less than four hours apart. This brand is as good as any, but it can worsen the effects of caffeine and cause panic attacks. I really recommend it to anyone suffering from fatigue or fatigue related to MS. Start at 500mg, then increase every 3 weeks. It interferes with sleep if taken after 3 p.m.
