Acetyl-L-carnitine, often abbreviated to ALCAR, is an amino acid derivative found in various tissues of the human body, including the brain. Amino acid derivatives are chemical compounds derived from amino acids but with a slightly different structure. Acetyl-L-carnitine plays an important role in cellular energy production and is involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria. Acetyl-L-carnitine is particularly popular with athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Produktinformationen
L-Carnitine supplies the cell powerhouses with fuel
L-Carnitine plays a fundamental role in fat metabolism. Fatty acids are transported across the mitochondrial membranes only when bound to L-carnitine. There, fatty acids are converted into energy (ATP) that cells require for their work. Energy demand increases, particularly during physical exertion.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is noted for its particular stability. In the acetylated form of the amino acid L-carnitine, carnitine is more readily absorbed and utilised by the body.
What is L-Carnitine and who needs it?
L-carnitine is a semi‑essential amino acid. The body can synthesise it from methionine and lysine. However, we primarily obtain L-carnitine through meat consumption. For those following a predominantly plant‑based diet, supplementation with L-carnitine is therefore advisable, especially if engaging in regular active exercise.
Each jar of Acetyl L-Carnitine 3000 mg from Unimedica contains 250 capsules. This corresponds to a generous monthly supply (41 days).
Vegan and free from the following additives
Vegan capsule shell made from pure plant cellulose (HPMC), free from carrageenan and PEG.
Acetyl L-Carnitine capsules from Unimedica are, in accordance with legal requirements, free from additives such as colourings, stabilisers, preservatives, anti‑caking agents like magnesium stearate, and are non‑GMO, lactose‑free, gluten‑free and vegan.
