Provita Acetyl L-Carnitine 500 Mg Caps 60 S

L-Carnitine acts in particular on the cardiovascular system, while Acetyl-L-Carnitine (LAC) acts mainly on the brain and nervous system.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is the biologically active form of the amino acid L-carnitine. It can cross the blood-brain barrier, being ideal for promoting neurological health. Acetyl-L-Carnitine has antioxidant activity and is important for brain function, producing energy at the cellular level.
Enzymes and cellular transporters quickly convert carnitine to the desired shape and transport it to tissues. Carnitine and its derivatives play a key role in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and energy production, being critical components for mitochondrial metabolism. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (LAC) is the most important derivative of carnitine and apears naturally in the body. Because LAC is considered to have higher bioavailability and therefore has the ability to cross neurological membranes, it is the preferred form for promoting neurological health.
Carnitine levels and its derivatives are essential for normal biological functioning. Carnitine is present in diets such as red meat and dairy products, and humans can generate carnitine from the amino acids lysine and methionine. However, carnitine deficiency can occur in certain conditions.
