A semi-essential amino acid

Your body can make the semi-essential amino acid carnitine from L-methionine and L-lysine. This process can fail. Surgery, dieting, fast growth, or intense sports can raise your need. In that case, a semi-essential amino acid can become essential. Your body may then absorb too little to meet your needs.

Vegetarians and vegans can lose balance faster

It can be hard for vegetarians and vegans to maintain good carnitine levels. Carnitine mainly comes from animal proteins. Meat and dairy are the main sources. If you eat little or no animal products, Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg can be a useful supplement.

A highly bioavailable form of carnitine

Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg contains only the L-form of carnitine. Carnitine exists in two forms: the L-form and the D-form. Your body recognizes only the L-form as natural. The D-form does not occur in living material and is seen as synthetic. The L-form helps ensure the carnitine is natural and well absorbed.

Good absorption through acetyl

Acetyl is a small part of a molecule. It is not a full molecule by itself. You can compare it to an arm or a leg. It matters in the whole, but not on its own. When acetyl binds to carnitine, it can add clear value in the body. It can help the molecule pass through the cell membrane more easily.

Key reasons

  • Acetyl acts like a lipid-like compound, which can support absorption in the gut.
  • The acetyl bond helps protect the molecule from oxidation, which supports fast spread in cells.
  • Cell enzymes can split this bond quickly, which supports uptake of acetyl-L-carnitine.

A high dose of 500 mg per capsule

Dose matters, not only quality. A higher dose gives more active ingredient per serving. Many acetyl-L-carnitine supplements contain 250 to 400 mg per capsule. Studies often use 500 to 2000 mg per day. This product provides 500 mg acetyl-L-carnitine per capsule. A common advice is to take two to four capsules per day.
