Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR): Considered effective for supporting brain function, focus, and mental energy
OCTN2 not only mediates the absorption of dietary carnitine in the intestine, providing exogenous carnineit to the body, but also is responsible for the renal reabsorption of carnitine, reducing its loss in urine
Acetylcarnitine levels under physiological and pathological conditions Several studies have shown that long-term use of acetylcarnitine reduces symptoms of chronic fatigue and improves the general condition in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (Table 1, [79, 81, 142])
In the mitochondria, LC is converted to ALC, and balances the acetyl CoA/CoA ratio to maintain glucose metabolism through the TCA cycle, yielding a higher energy production [34]
