Special form of L-carnitine
This food supplement by Vitamintrend provides you with 750mg acetyl-L-carnitine per capsule.
Acetyl-L-carnitine, also known under the abbreviations ALC and ALCAR, is a special form of the amino acid L-carnitine. The speciality lies in its chemical structure, as the name already reveals, an acetyl group has been added to the amino acid L-carnitine. This acetyl group makes the amino acid more soluble in water and can therefore be absorbed and utilised very well.
L-carnitine in the organism
The conventional amino acid L-carnitine can be produced by the body itself from the amino acids L-lysine and L-methionine and is therefore actually not essential. However, the production of L-carnitine also depends on an adequate supply of iron, vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid and niacin. Therefore, in the event of a deficiency, it may be advisable to supply the body with L-carnitine through food supplements, especially if there is an increased need.
L-carnitine is needed to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, the power stations of the cells, so that a good energy supply to the body is guaranteed. It also plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
L-carnitine is mainly found in organs that have a high energy turnover. These include the heart, kidneys and muscles.
Foods containing L-carnitine
The best L-carnitine suppliers are foods from animal sources such as poultry, fish, meat, milk and dairy products. In contrast, plant-based foods such as cereals, vegetables or fruit contain only very small amounts of the amino acid.
For this reason, it is particularly useful for vegetarians and vegans to supplement L-carnitine in the form of food supplements to ensure an adequate supply.
