Carnitine by Switch Nutrition

Acetyl L-Carnitine, also known as Alcar, is formed when L-Carnitine is coupled with an Acetyl group.

Alcar stands apart from other carnitine derivatives due to its unique ability to traverse the blood-brain barrier, contributing to the maintenance of brain health.

Carnitine plays a vital role in transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are utilized for energy production.

The majority, approximately 98%, of Carnitine stores are housed within skeletal muscle, aiding in efficient energy transfer. A minor portion is stored in the liver and bloodstream.
