EHPlabs Acetyl L-Carnitine is of highest quality Acetyl L-Carnitine on the market. The fine crystalline powder and the potency of a concentrated serving size is testament to this.
Acetyl L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that promotes the transportation of free fatty acids into the mitochondria (core of the cells), where they are burned off as energy. Acetyl L-Carnitine also assists muscle recovery after strenuous exercise and promotes optimal heart and brain function.
EHPlabs wanted to ensure that the Acetyl L-Carnitine pharmaceutical quality was maintained, hence, this product has not been artificially flavoured or coloured. Acetyl L-Carnitine has a naturally occurring sour lemon taste and EHPLabs recommends that it should be taken as a "stack" product, and mixed into a serving of OxyShred, BUZZ or Beyond BCAA.
ENHANCED FAT BURNING
L-carnitine stimulates the body into burning fatty acids (triglycerides) and has been suggested to increase the body’s ability to burn fat by helping move more fatty acids into the cells to be burned for energy. L-Carnitine supplementation has shown to provide a modest body weight, BMI and fat mass reduction, particuarly in overweight and obese individuals ¹. This can be supported by a previous study which found that those who supplemented with L-carnitine lost an average of 2.9 pounds (1.3 kg) more than those who didn’t ².
ASSIST IN HEALTHY BRAIN FUNCTION
Current literature suggests that Acetyl L-Carnitine supplementation may improve markers of learning and prevent age-related mental decline ³. It has been demonstrated to improve brain function and short-term memory in healthy older adults. It may also have a beneficial effect on Alzheimer-type dementia ⁴.
SUPPORT HEART HEALTH
Acetyl L-Carnitine is involved in lipid oxidation and glucose metabolism by stimulating the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and activating the glycolytic pathway which is responsible for glucose breakdown (glycolysis). It assists in the breakdown of long-chain fatty acids and improves Beta oxidation, a metabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down to produce energy. This helps to increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP), responsible for cellular functions within the body. Evidence suggests that Acetyl L-Carnitine supplementation may have positive effects on the lipid profile by counteracting the shift in use of carbohydrates to lipids commonly observed with insulin resistance ⁵. This is of particular benefit for those suffering with Type 2 Diabetes. Supplementation has also shown to reduce blood pressure and decrease the risk of inflammatory processes associated with heart disease ⁶.
IMPROVE EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
L-Carnitine may improve exercise performance and recovery due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties shown to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage. It has been demonstrated to increase oxygen supply and blood flow to the muscles, helping reduce fatigue, muscle soreness and delay discomfort ⁷.
