Acetyl-L-Carnitine (acetyl carnitine) is a more bioavailable
form of the amino acid L-Carnitine and is involved in many
metabolic functions. As an antioxidant, acetyl carnitine
can protect neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals.
Acetyl carnitine is involved in other aspects of neuronal
metabolism and its molecular structure resembles the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine. Also, acetyl carnitine supplementation supports
energy utilization through fatty acid metabolism in the
mitochondria.
