NOW Foods Acetyl-L Carnitine 500 mg - 100 Veg Capsules
R 649.00
The brain-friendly form of carnitine for focus and energy.
BRAIN ENERGY SUPPORT
ALCAR crosses the blood-brain barrier (regular L-carnitine doesn't well) and supports mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in neurons.
MITOCHONDRIAL FUEL SHUTTLE
Carnitine is the carrier that transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for beta-oxidation, the body's main fat-to-ATP route.
ACETYLCHOLINE DONATION
The acetyl group on ALCAR can be donated to acetylcholine synthesis, the neurotransmitter behind memory and attention.
AGE-RELATED COGNITION
Most-studied for mild age-related cognitive complaints and diabetic peripheral neuropathy at 1500 to 3000mg daily.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg
- The acetylated form of the amino acid carnitine. Crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than L-carnitine. Transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production and donates acetyl groups to acetylcholine synthesis.
Who is it for?
Adults working on cognitive performance, age-related memory concerns, mitochondrial energy support, or peripheral neuropathy. Useful for high-output workers and people exploring nootropic stacks.
Why use it?
Regular L-carnitine is excellent for muscle energy but poorly crosses the blood-brain barrier. ALCAR is the specific form for cognitive and neurological work.
When to use it
Take in the morning on an empty stomach, or split morning and lunch. Avoid evening use; ALCAR is mildly stimulating for some people and can interfere with sleep.
How to use it
Start at 1 capsule (500mg) daily and build to 2 to 3 capsules (1000 to 1500mg) split morning and lunch. For specific cognitive or neuropathy targets, 2000 to 3000mg daily is the trial dose.
