ALC is readily convert into carnitine and acetyl-CoA back in mitochondria according to the metabolic needs of the cell. It is absorbed from the gut and actively crosses the blood-brain barrier². L-carnitine acts as a transporter of long-chain fatty acids between cytoplasm and mitochondria for β-oxidation³⁻⁴.

Growing clinical evidence supports multiple health benefits of ALC on cognitive functions and various neurological disorders.
