What is acetyl-L-carnitine?

Acetyl-L-carnitine (abbreviated ALC or ALCAR) is an acetylated form of L-carnitine. L-carnitine is a vitamin-like compound that the body synthesises from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Acetyl-L-carnitine occurs naturally in the human body, and small amounts are also found in foods of animal origin – mainly meat. In the OstroVit product, acetyl-L-carnitine is in the form of the hydrochloride (HCl). 2000 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine HCl corresponds to 1340 mg of L-carnitine – this amount is also shown in the nutrition information table so that the content of different carnitine products is easy to compare. The powder strongly binds moisture, so lumps may form or it may become compact. This does not mean that the product has lost its properties – in that case, break up the lumps before use.

How to use?

Dissolve one serving, i.e. 2 g of powder (2.5 scoops), in 100–150 ml of water or juice in a shaker. Take one serving a day. Use the 1 ml scoop included in the package to measure the serving. One serving is also the recommended daily dose, which must not be exceeded. As the powder is unflavoured, you can also mix it with a juice of your choice. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
