NOW Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg – 50 Veg Capsules

NOW Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg provides a highly bioavailable form of carnitine in convenient vegetable capsules — in a compact 50-capsule bottle that is ideal for trying the formula or keeping a shorter supply on hand. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a modified amino acid that helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be converted into ATP for cellular energy. This process supports mitochondrial function, energy production, and an active daily wellness routine. Because ALC can cross the blood-brain barrier, it is also designed to support normal neurotransmitter activity, brain and nerve cell function, and neurological wellness. Each capsule supplies 500 mg of Acetyl-L-Carnitine, while a two-capsule serving provides 1,000 mg. These vegan capsules are non-GMO, halal, kosher, and made without gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, or nuts. For the larger 100-capsule bottle, see NOW Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg, 100 Veg Capsules, or browse the full Vitamins A–Z collection.
