Brand: Life Extension

Color: White to Off White

Features:

• Why supplement with carnitine?—Carnitine helps turn food into cellular energy, promoting youthful cellular energy metabolism that benefits your brain health, mood, nerves and more.
• Promotes cellular energy—Acetyl-L-carnitine helps fight oxidative stress at the cellular level. Combine that with this nutrient’s ability to facilitate cellular energy production, and you have an invaluable daily supplement for whole-body wellness.
• Good for your brain—Acetyl-L-carnitine is great for supporting the parts of your body that need lots of cellular energy, such as your brain and nervous system (as well as your heart and cardiovascular system). This specialized carnitine supplement can even help with things not usually associated with your mind, such as nerve comfort.
• Ingredients matter—Sourced using only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency your body deserves. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every product we produce.

Details: "An age-related effect is the reduction in the energy-producing components of the cell, resulting in reduced cellular metabolic activity, and the accumulation of cellular debris. L-carnitine helps maintain cellular energy metabolism by assisting in the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria within the cell, where fats are oxidized to produce the cellular energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP). Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated ester of the amino acid L-carnitine. Acetyl-L-carnitine is an endogenous mitochondrial membrane compound that helps maintain mitochondrial bioenergetics and lowers the increased oxidative stress associated with aging. Acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine are absorbed into the bloodstream efficiently. Both are effective at carrying long-chain fatty acids across the membrane into the mitochondria where they are burned for energy production and utilized efficiently by the cells. Acetyl-L-carnitine also crosses the blood-brain barrier and guards against oxidative damage. Amyloid-beta peptide is a principal component of plaques and is thought to be a contributor to the aging process. Acetyl-L-carnitine exerts protective effects against such neurotoxicity and oxidative stress."
