MRM Nutrition Acetyl L-Carnitine vs Thorne Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is a nutrient and naturally occurring metabolite in the human body that is involved in macronutrient metabolism. Deficiencies in L-Carnitine can increase fatigue and decrease recovery rate following physical activity. A number of tissues contain significant concentrations of ALC but these decrease as we age and there is evidence that dietary supplementation can address these shortfalls.

Supports cognitive function and healthy nerve sensations in the hands and feet. Acetyl-L-Carnitine enhances neurotransmitter regulation, which can support optimal nerve function. Thorne's Acetyl-L-Carnitine supports the health of the nerves in the upper and lower limbs and enhances the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which supports brain function. Acetyl-L-carnitine also helps minimize the discomfort due to alterations in nerve function; for example, in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or individual with high blood sugar. Acetyl-L-carnitine is better absorbed and crosses the blood-brain barrier more rapidly than L-carnitine. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in supporting cognitive health and maintaining a positive mood in the elderly, possibly by partially inhibiting the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and lowering chronically elevated cortisol levels, which become elevated during stress. In addition to acetyl-L-carnitine's support of brain and nerve health, it also promotes healthy sperm count and motility.
