Primary FunctionsEnergy Production: ALC helps transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria (the "powerhouse" of the cell) to be burned for energy.Brain Health: Unlike regular L-carnitine, ALC can cross the blood-brain barrier. It is often used to support cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity, particularly in older adults.Nerve Support: It may help manage nerve pain (neuropathy), specifically the tingling or weakness in hands and feet that can occur with high blood sugar.Physical Performance: Some people use it to support exercise performance and muscle recovery by improving how the body uses fat for fuel.Potential Side
