ALCAR Mitochondrial Health

Meaning

ALCAR Mitochondrial Health describes the crucial supportive role of Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR), an acetylated derivative of L-carnitine, in optimizing the function of cellular mitochondria. ALCAR is a biologically active compound that is essential for the efficient transport of fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane, ensuring substrate availability for the generation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Adequate mitochondrial health is foundational to the metabolic and energetic capacity of all tissues, particularly the highly demanding nervous and endocrine systems.
