PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - October 13, 2016) - Nutritional supplement maker Kirkman® has added acetyl L-carnitine to their line of nutritional supplements.
Available in 250 mg vegetarian capsules, Kirkman's Acetyl L-Carnitine (0528-090) fuels the body at its most fundamental level. L-carnitine, is a derivative of the amino acid lysine. It has been shown to increase energy production in the mitochondria, boosting both physical and mental energy.
L-carnitine exists in both acetyl (the form Kirkman® offers) and non-acetyl forms. Acetyl L-carnitine is the more bioavailable of the two. As the National Institutes of Health state, acetyl L-carnitine "is better absorbed from the small intestine than L-carnitine and more efficiently crosses the blood-brain barrier" than the non-acetyl form of L-carnitine.
Studies have indicated acetyl L-carnitine can help improve athletic performance, reducing recovery time and soreness. It promotes the production of glutathione, one of the most important providers of antioxidant activity. It has also been shown to provide benefits for the neurological system, including mood enhancement, and improve fertility for both men and women.
