Nusci ALC, Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl 454g (1.0 LB) Pure Powder.

Acetyl-l-carnitine is a molecule that occurs naturally in the brain, liver, and kidney. It is an acetylated form of L-carnitine, a delivery form of both L-carnitine and acetyl groups. The functions of L-carnitine include transport of long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membranes into the mitochondria (wherein their metabolism produces bio-energy) and transport of small-chain and medium-chain fatty acids out of the mitochondria in order to, among other things, maintain normal coenzyme A levels in these organelles. It may also have antioxidant activity. The acetyl component of acetyl-L-carnitine provides for the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Abnormal acetylcholine metabolism in the brain, leading to acetylcholine deficits in certain brain regions, is thought to be associated with age-related dementias, including Alzheimer's disease. Acetyl-L-carnitine serves as a readily accessible energy pool for use in both activation of respiration and motility in human spermatozoa. Natural levels of Acetyl-l-carnitine diminish as we age.
