Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginate
Life Extension, 100 capsules
Acetyl-l-carnitine arginate is a patented form of carnitine that stimulates the growth of neurites in the brain. Studies show that acetyl-l-carnitine arginate stimulates the growth of new neurites by an astounding 19.5%, which is almost four times better than acetyl-l-carnitine.
The acetylated form of L-carnitine (acetyl-l-carnitine) facilitates the release and synthesis of acetylcholine by donating its acetyl group to the production of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter. Acetyl-l-carnitine also enhances the release of dopamine from neurons and helps it bind to dopamine receptors. Numerous human and animal studies validate the multiple beneficial mechanisms that acetyl-l-carnitine exerts in the brain.*
Acetyl-l-carnitine is more effective than L-carnitine in carrying fatty acids across the membrane into the cell where they are burned as energy. Since 1995, Life Extension members have been supplementing with acetyl-l-carnitine and deriving the many benefits this form of carnitine has shown in published scientific studies. With the discovery of acetyl-l-carnitine arginate, the benefits of acetyl-l-carnitine can now be greatly augmented.*
Acetyl-l-carnitine-arginate is a patented form of acetyl-l-carnitine. This amino acid boosts mitochondrial energy production through its ability to facilitate fatty acid transport across the membrane into the cell where they are burned as energy. Since 1995, Life Extension members have been supplementing with acetyl-l-carnitine and deriving the many benefits this form of carnitine has shown in published scientific studies. With the discovery of acetyl-l-carnitine- arginate, the benefits of acetyl-l-carnitine can be greatly augmented.
