Acetyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring derivative of L-carnitine found in the body. Carnitine and its derivatives play a central role in fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism and energy production, and are critical components of mitochondrial function. ALC is the preferred form for neurological applications because its acetyl group allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively than standard L-carnitine. ALC also assists in the conversion of choline into acetylcholine, one of the most important neurotransmitters for cognitive function. Carnitine is found in the diet primarily in red meat and dairy; deficiency can occur in certain conditions or dietary patterns.
