GlossaryAcetyl-L-carnitine

naturally occurring compound aiding energy production and cognitive function

Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in energy production by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy. It is also known for its potential neuroprotective effects and is often used as a dietary supplement to support cognitive function, improve mood, and enhance physical performance.
