Acetyl-L-Carnitine & it’s Benefits
Acetyl-L-carnitine is made from L-carnitine in the body. L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine are used to help the body convert fat into energy. Acetyl L Carnitine is essential for energy production in every cell of your body. It works by transporting fat, in the form of fatty acids, to the mitochondrial membrane where the fat is oxidised to produce energy through the conversion of fat to energy. Without carnitine, the normal burning of fat cannot take place. Supplementing with Acetyl-L-Carnitine has been clinically to provide a modest reducing effect on body weight, BMI and fat mass, especially among adults with overweight/obesity (Talenzhad et.al, 2020).
Acetyl L-Carnitine Aids Mental and Cognitive Performance
Acetyl L-Carnitine has also shown to help mental and cognitive functions due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and directly stimulate the central nervous system (CNS). This makes Acetyl L-Carnitine an excellent stimulant free pre-workout alternative or to aid anyone looking to maximise mental performance and coordination.
What is the difference between Acetyl L-Carnitine and normal L-Carnitine?
Acetyl L-Carnitine is simply the Acetylated form of free form L-Carnitine. The key benefits of Acetyl L-Carnitine include greater bio-availability (meaning it is used by the body more efficiently), than L-Carnitine. Acetyl L-Carnitine also can cross the blood brain barrier and provide additional cognitive benefits while L-Carnitine cannot.
Who should supplement with L-Carnitine?
Anyone who is currently in a fat-loss phase, or on a journey to drop a bit of body fat, will greatly benefit from the addition of acetyl-l-carnitine due to its ability to increase energy expenditure. Acetyl L-Carnitine can help metabolise that stubborn body fat and finally help reveal that muscle mass underneath that you’ve worked so hard for!
How should you take Acetyl L-Carnitine?
Simply mix one (1) scoop (3g) of Acetyl L-Carnitine with 100-200ml of water or any drink of your choice and consume 15-30 minutes before exercise.
