Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC (is clearly one of the most extensively researched brain nutrients with a proven ability to enhance and revive brain and mental energy. This powerful antioxidant can cross the blood-brain barrier where it plays a role in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine as well as supporting healthy blood flow to the brain.

ALC is a combination of the amino acid L-Carnitine attached to an acetyl group, thereby making ALC fat soluble so that it can cross the blood brain barrier whereas unattached L-Carnitine clearly does not. Proper energy metabolism for the brain is vital since it makes up 20% of energy consumption. This is highly significant for ADHD (eases autistic “stimming”), Alzheimer’s, cognitive disorders, memory loss, mental fatigue, mitochondrial, neurotransmitter challenges etc.
