Like all L- Carnitine variants, Acetyl-L- Carnitine (ALCAR) is synthesized primarily in the liver and kidneys and then transported to other tissue. ALCAR has excellent bioavailability and is readily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Acetyl-L- Carnitine is considered the most abundant naturally occurring derivative of Carnitine.
Acetyl-L- Carnitine can be found in different types of food, such as soy, avocado, and especially red meat. In fact, the name "carnitine" comes from the Latin "carno", which means "meat", considered the greatest natural source of this substance.
