ALC - ACETYL L-CARNITINE - 60caps

Overview

BioTechUSA ALC is a capsule supplement containing acetyl-L-carnitine — the acetic acid ester of L-carnitine. Acetyl-L-carnitine is an active form of L-carnitine that the body can utilise directly. Each two-capsule serving provides 1260 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine, containing 845 mg of L-carnitine, plus 5 mg of zinc. The product is caffeine-free, making it suitable for those sensitive to stimulants.

Acetyl-L-carnitine differs from regular L-carnitine by having an added acetyl group that modifies the molecule's properties. L-carnitine is an amino acid-containing organic compound also naturally produced in the human body. As carnitine is a key part of the fatty acid transport system, it is essential for utilising energy stored in fats.

The role of zinc in the body

The product contains added zinc — an important trace element with several crucial physiological functions. Zinc contributes to normal fatty acid metabolism and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Additionally, zinc supports normal macronutrient metabolism, making it an important mineral for active trainers. The 5 mg of zinc per serving represents 50% of the adult nutrient reference value.

Key benefits

Who is it for?

ALC is suitable for both men and women who train regularly and want to complement their supplement regimen with a quality acetyl-L-carnitine product. It is especially suited for those who train daily and intensively and prefer a stimulant-free option. The caffeine-free formula also makes it suitable for use before evening workouts and for caffeine-sensitive individuals.

What is acetyl-L-carnitine?

Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the acetylated form of L-carnitine. L-carnitine itself is an amino acid-like compound that the body produces from lysine and methionine. Carnitine plays a vital role in the fatty acid transport system — it helps transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be used for energy production. The acetyl form offers an additional advantage, as the acetyl group may provide the molecule with additional properties. The acetyl-L-carnitine used in this product comprises 82% of the total composition.
