Acetyl L-Carnitine, or ALCAR for short, is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that is essential in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It is synthesized in the body and is also found in various food sources, including meats, dairy, and poultry. ALCAR has been shown to have numerous health benefits, particularly in brain function and energy production. In addition, ALCAR has antioxidant properties, which may help protect the body against oxidative damage. Due to these potential health benefits, ALCAR is a popular dietary supplement and is often used to enhance cognitive function, improve athletic performance, and support weight loss.

L-Carnitine, whose chemical name is 3-hydroxy-4-trimethylaminobutyric acid lactone, has always attracted people's attention for its nutritional value. As early as 1984, the US FDA clearly stipulated that L-Carnitine is an important food nutritional enhancer.
L-Carnitine is one of the basic components of microorganisms, animals and plants. There are about 20 grams of L-Carnitine in the tissues of adults, most of which are distributed in skeletal muscles, heart muscles, liver, etc., among which the content is highest in heart muscles. The content of L-Carnitine in food is higher in meat and dairy foods, with the highest content in mutton (up to 2100 mg per kilogram). The content in plant foods is extremely low, so strict vegetarians are more likely to be deficient.
People can not only obtain L-Carnitine through food intake, but also synthesize it in the human body. The liver and kidneys are the main synthesis organs. Generally speaking, adults can synthesize the L-Carnitine required to maintain normal metabolism, but L-Carnitine deficiency often occurs in the human body, especially in the elderly and infants. The synthesis capacity of the elderly is reduced, and infants cannot or find it difficult to synthesize L-carnitine by themselves, so they mainly rely on breast milk for supply. For others, such as athletes who undergo high-intensity training, people who are highly focused when working, and people who are deficient in L-carnitine due to diseases such as obesity, heart disease, and kidney disease, it is not enough to rely on self-synthesis and external natural food supply. They all need to be supplemented, so L-carnitine can be used as a food nutritional enhancer.
The main physiological functions of L-carnitine are:
1 transport fatty acids into mitochondria and perform B-oxidation there to promote fat burning and provide energy, so it has the effects of lowering blood lipids, improving human athletic ability and losing weight.
2Protect cells: Excrete excess acyl coenzyme A from the body to prevent it from damaging cells
3.Prevent lactic acid accumulation. A large amount of lactic acid is produced after intense exercise. L-carnitine can reduce the amount of lactic acid produced and improve exercise endurance. At the same time, it also promotes the energy utilization of carbohydrates and other substances, and increases sperm count and vitality.
