ALCAR CAPSULE 500MG  Supports Energy Production

ALCAR capsule contains Acetyl-L-Carnitine, a powerful trimethylated amino acid derivative. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is naturally synthesized in the brain, liver, and kidneys by the enzyme acetyl-L-carnitine transferase. It plays a vital role in cellular energy production and supports overall health, particularly neurological function.

ALCAR capsules facilitate the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation, leading to the generation of ATP, the body’s primary source of cellular energy. Additionally, it supports the synthesis of vital compounds such as acetylcholine, and stimulates the production of proteins and membrane phospholipids, which are essential for cellular structure and function.

How It Works:

While the precise mechanism of action remains under study, Acetyl-L-Carnitine contributes significantly to energy production and the synthesis of vital compounds such as acetylcholine. Its neuroprotective properties may also help counteract the side effects of certain medications, including anticonvulsants like valproic acid. ALCAR capsule supports both mental clarity and physical endurance, making it an effective choice for individuals seeking enhanced cognitive and metabolic function.

Pharmacokinetics:

After oral administration, ALCAR is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with peak plasma concentrations typically reached within 3 to 4 hours. It is widely distributed throughout body tissues, particularly in the brain, heart, liver, and skeletal muscles. The acetyl group allows it to efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier, supporting its therapeutic action in neurological conditions. In the liver and kidneys, ALCAR is metabolized into L-carnitine and acetate, which are further utilized in energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis, including acetylcholine. Excretion occurs primarily through the urine, either as free or metabolized carnitine, with renal elimination regulated by plasma concentrations. The elimination half-life of Acetyl-L-Carnitine ranges from approximately 4 to 8 hours.
