★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie

Acetyl L-carnitine is carnitine with an acetyl group attached. Carnitine carries fats into the mitochondria to be burned, and the acetyl form is the one that crosses into the brain.

The body makes carnitine from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and meat is the main food source. Acetyl L-carnitine is the form taken by people interested in energy and in brain and nerve support.

Each capsule provides acetyl L-carnitine with nothing else apart from the vegetable shell. It is often chosen by those who eat little meat and want this rather than plain L-carnitine.

Each capsule contains:%NRV*
Acetyl L- Carnitine HCl550mg†

† Nutrient Reference Value (NRV*) not established

Acetyl L- Carnitine HCl, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule).

Also listed as ALCAR, ALC, acetylcarnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride.

Take 2 capsules once per day before eating.

Taking ALCAR on an empty stomach improves absorption. For energy and cognitive support, morning dosing works best as it supports alertness and focus throughout the day.

If you are using ALCAR to support exercise performance, take 2 capsules approximately 1 hour before training. This allows time for the fatty acid transport mechanism to become active before your workout begins.

Frequently asked questions

What is Acetyl L-Carnitine good for?

Acetyl L-Carnitine provides amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins.

When should I take amino acids?

Often best on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.

Can I take this with protein?

Yes, though taking separately may improve absorption.

What are amino acids used for in the body?

Amino acids build proteins, neurotransmitters, hormones, and enzymes. Each has specific functions beyond protein synthesis.

Are amino acid supplements safe?

Generally yes for most people. Those with certain metabolic conditions should consult a practitioner.

Acetyl L-carnitine or L-carnitine tartrate: which should I choose?

Both supply carnitine, which carries fats into the mitochondria. L-carnitine tartrate is the form used in sports research for exercise and recovery and is taken at gram doses. Acetyl L-carnitine carries an acetyl group, crosses into the brain more readily, and is the form used in research on memory, attention and nerve health. Choose the tartrate if the aim is training; choose acetyl L-carnitine if the aim is brain and nerve support or you eat little meat and want the form that does both.

Why capsules rather than tablets?

Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
