PrimaForce Acetyl L Carnitine Unflavoured 250g

Acetyl-L-carnitine, the acetyl ester of L-carnitine, is used to support a healthy memory and the metabolism of stored body fat for energy. It occurs naturally in animal products, particularly in red meat. Acetyl-L-carnitine may support healthy cardiac function. It may have antioxidant and anti-apoptotic activity.

L-carnitine transfers long-chain fatty acids, such as triglycerides, into the mitochondria (a cell's energy powerhouse), where they may be oxidized to produce energy. L-carnitine is a very popular supplement that promotes fat loss and the use of stored body fat for energy. It is also used for increasing energy, improving resistance to muscle fatigue, and reducing feelings of hunger and weakness. Acetyl L Carnitine also crosses the blood/brain barrier to enhance brain function and concentration.

When combined with a suitable debiting and training regime, Acetyl-L-Carnitine may greatly increase the amount of stored body fat used for energy, resulting in a leaner and more muscular physique.

Studies have been conducted on L-carnitine since as early as 1937. Those studies yielded positive results suggesting that the body's cardiovascular system can greatly benefit from the intake of L-carnitine. There are a variety of published studies that suggest L-carnitine is useful in increasing the heart's output and improving it's functioning, as well as stimulating the heart's energy supply and supporting cardiac performance.

Most research involving acetyl-L-carnitine has used 1 gram, 20 minutes before cardiovascular exercise, though some research has used double this amount.
