| Name | L-Acetylcarnitine |
|---|
| Description | An acetic acid ester of carnitine that facilitates movement of acetyl CoA into the matrices of mammalian mitochondria during the oxidation of fatty acids. In addition to his metabolic role, acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) posses unique neuroprotective, neuromodulatory, and neurotrophic properties this may play an important role in counteracting various disease processes.
