Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a naturally occurring component of fat metabolism and cellular energy production. ALC readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and promotes healthy nerve cell function by maintaining normal mitochondrial bioenergetics, stabilizing cell membranes, and contributing to the production of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that plays a role in learning and memory. ALC also supports the brain’s natural defenses against free radical attack.
Suggested Usage
- Take 1-2 capsule 1 to 3 times daily as needed, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Cautions / Interactions

If you are pregnant/nursing, taking medication (including thyroid hormones), or have a medical condition (including thyroid disorder), consult your healthcare practitioner before taking this product. Some pharmaceutical medications may increase the need for ALC, including AZT, certain antibiotics, isotretinoin, and some anti-seizure medications (carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and valproic acid).
