Scitec Nutrition Hyper Carnitine - 120 caps
MEGA ACETYL L–CARNITINE CAPSULES! ALC is one of the most popular L-Carnitine versions. Our HYPER CARNITINE contains 1000 mg of the active ALC compound in one capsule!
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is the advanced, acetylated form of L-Carnitine. Carnitine is important in the final oxidation (burniong off) of fats in the body, while the acetyl part can be used to maintain acetyl-CoA levels. ALC can easily cross the blood-brain barrier in humans therefore it has more neurological effects as well!
L-Carnitine vs Acetyl L-Carnitine:
The main difference between Acetyl-L-Carnitine and L-Carnitine is the presence of an acetyl group in ALCAR. The acetyl group is a chemical functional group composed of carbon, two hydrogens and an oxygen atom. In ALCAR, the acetyl group is added to the amino acid L-Carnitine. This allows ALCAR to have improved absorption rate and gives it the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively, compared to L-Carnitine. The acetyl group in ALCAR plays a crucial role in its unique properties and potential cognitive and nerve effects.
Should I take L-Carnitine or Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
Cognitive and Neurological Benefits
While L-Carnitine plays a role in overall energy metabolism and may indirectly support brain health through its impact on energy production, it doesn't have the same direct cognitive and neurological effects as ALCAR. ALCAR is specifically associated with cognitive benefits, including potential improvements in memory, learning, mood and overall brain function. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier allows it to have a more direct influence on brain health.
Energy Metabolism
Both play roles in energy metabolism by aiding in the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production.
Physical Performance and Muscle Recovery
Both may contribute to improved exercise performance and muscle recovery by supporting energy metabolism and reducing oxidative stress.
Health Conditions and Applications
L-Carnitine is often used for general energy support, heart health and weight management. ALCAR is often chosen for its potential cognitive and neurological benefits, such as mental clarity, focus and mood enhancement.
