Acetyl-L-carnitine facilitates the movement of fatty acids into mitochondria, where they can be burned as fuel to produce energy. Thus, acetyl-L-carnitine helps to support whole-body energy production.

Acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation has been shown to benefit energy-intensive body systems such as the nervous system and the cardiovascular system, and to help counteract the age-related increase in oxidative stress and the decrease in mitochondrial efficiency that occurs with advancing years.^1-5

Acetyl-l-carnitine has wide-ranging benefits for nervous system wellness, including the central and peripheral nervous systems, and cognitive health, as well as positive mood.^6-11 It has been shown to promote peripheral nervous system comfort, support healthy mood, energy and overall well-being.^12-17
