Acetyl L-Carnitine Hydrochloride (Cat No.:R059919) is the hydrochloride salt form of acetyl L-carnitine, a naturally occurring amino acid derivative involved in energy metabolism. It facilitates the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation and energy production. The acetyl group enhances its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making ALCAR especially beneficial for cognitive support, neuroprotection, and memory enhancement. It is widely used as a dietary supplement for supporting brain function, combating fatigue, and promoting mitochondrial health. The hydrochloride form improves its stability and solubility for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.
