An age-related effect is the reduction in energy-producing components in the cell, leading to decreased cellular metabolic activity and accumulation of cellular waste. L-carnitine helps maintain cellular energy metabolism by assisting in the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol to the mitochondria in the cell, where fats are oxidized to produce cellular energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP).
Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated ester of the amino acid L-carnitine. Acetyl-L-carnitine is an endogenous mitochondrial membrane compound that helps maintain mitochondrial bioenergetics and reduces the increased oxidative stress associated with aging. Acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine are effectively absorbed into the bloodstream. Both are effective in transporting long-chain fatty acids across the membrane into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy production and utilized efficiently by cells. Acetyl-L-carnitine also crosses the blood-brain barrier and protects against oxidative damage.
Amyloid-beta peptide is a major component of plaques and is thought to be a contributing factor to the aging process. Acetyl-L-carnitine exerts protective effects against such neurotoxicity and oxidative stress.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and may have the potential to exert unique neuroprotective, neuromodulating, and neurotrophic properties. ALC can support youthful memory function, improve mitochondrial structure and function, inhibit age-related oxidative damage, and restore the activity of key enzymes.
