Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is naturally produced in the body or to a lesser degree can be obtained through meat consumption. It helps the mitochondria in your cells to burn fat to create more energy. This is particularly beneficial to muscles and the brain.In muscles it can aid both muscle performance and recovery - and as such can support heart health.These benefits have encouraged supplementation, particularly amongst vegans and vegetarians who might not be able to produce or consume enough.These qualities justified Acetyl-L-Carnitine's inclusion in our Heart Health: Red Berries and Hibiscus product.
