Acetyl L-Carnitine
Acetyl L-Carnitine
EHPlabs Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a 100% pure, pharmaceutical-grade formula of the highest quality available on the market. Acetyl-L-Carnitine, also known as ALC, is a naturally occurring amino acid stored in the muscles, with trace amounts present in the liver and blood. It facilitates the transport of free fatty acids into the mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse), where this fat is burned to generate energy. ALC also aids in muscle recovery after intense exercise and supports optimal heart and brain function.
We recommend combining ALC with our world-famous formula, OxyShred. This will help boost its effects and take your focus, fat burning, and energy production to the next level! ENHANCED FAT BURNING: L-Carnitine stimulates the body to burn fatty acids (triglycerides), and there is evidence that it increases the body's fat-burning capacity by aiding the transport of more fatty acids into cells to be used as energy. L-Carnitine supplementation has been shown to provide a modest reduction in body weight, BMI, and fat mass, particularly in overweight and obese individuals ¹.
This is supported by a previous study finding that those who supplemented with L-carnitine lost, on average, 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs) more than those who did not ². SUPPORTS HEALTHY BRAIN FUNCTION: Current literature suggests that Acetyl-L-Carnitine supplementation may improve markers of learning and prevent age-related cognitive decline ³. It has been shown to improve brain function and short-term memory in healthy older adults. It may also have beneficial effects in cases of Alzheimer's-type dementia ⁴.
HEART HEALTH SUPPORT: Acetyl-L-Carnitine plays a role in lipid oxidation and glucose metabolism by stimulating pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity and activating the glycolytic pathway, which is responsible for breaking down glucose (glycolysis). It aids in the breakdown of long-chain fatty acids and enhances beta-oxidation, a metabolic process in which fatty acid molecules are broken down to produce energy. This helps increase levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule responsible for cellular functions within the body. Evidence suggests that Acetyl-L-Carnitine supplementation may positively affect the lipid profile by counteracting the shift in energy substrate utilization—from carbohydrates to lipids—commonly observed in cases of insulin resistance ⁵. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Supplementation has also been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of inflammatory processes associated with heart disease ⁶. IMPROVED PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE: L-Carnitine can enhance exercise performance and recovery thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which are proven to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage. It has been shown to increase oxygen supply and blood flow to the muscles, helping to reduce fatigue and muscle soreness, as well as delay discomfort ⁷.
