CanPrev Acetyl L-Carnitine 600mg 120 Veggie Capsules

Your brain never takes a break. This means its cells constantly need energy to function and support everyday processes. When the brain doesn’t have enough energy it affects us in many ways and can impact not only our health but lifestyle. Short term effects might include brain fog, trouble focusing, poor memory, headaches and changes in mood. Longterm, the effects of low brain energy might manifest as chronic fatigue, memory problems, and slower processing speed. 

Acetyl L-carnitine (ALC) is a special form of L-carnitine, an amino acid that the body uses to turn fat into energy. It plays a key role in transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they’re broken down to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s main source of cellular energy. By supporting this energy pathway, ALC can uniquely benefit memory and overall brain function, especially in aging populations and people experiencing cognitive changes or mental fatigue.  

ALC is unique because of its ability to cross the blood brain barrier, the protective layer of cells that filter nutrients and molecules’ access to the brain. Once in the brain, ALC plays an important role in producing acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that’s involved in learning, memory and focus.

Beyond brain health, acetyl L-carnitine has been shown to support overall nervous system health by reducing nerve pain or numbness caused by medications or metabolic issues and assisting in nerve repair. Acetyl L-carnitine has also been studied for its effects on male reproductive health including sperm motility and fertility. 

Canprev’s Acetyl L-Carnitine provides a high dose of 600mg per vegetable capsule to support brain and cognitive function as well as the central and peripheral nervous system.
