Your brain is your best asset and you want to support cognition.*
The natural aging process sometimes brings with it a change in cognitive function – how your brain acquires and processes information. Acetyl L-Carnitine is an amino acid that supports your production of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that gives your brain a helping hand.*

Acetyl L-Carnitine, also called ALCAR, is a beneficial form of the amino acid carnitine. Your body is able to make L-carnitine from other types of essential amino acids that you get from eating protein. Since meat and fish can provide small amounts of carnitine, it may be difficult for people who avoid or limit animal-based foods, like vegetarians or vegans, to make enough from diet alone.
In a clinical trial, 30 elderly subjects received 2,000 mg of Acetyl L-Carnitine or a placebo daily for 12 weeks.1 Results concluded that Acetyl L-Carnitine may support cognitive function during the aging process.*
