Acetyl-ʟ-carnitine is an active form of carnitine that is synthesized in the body or obtained through dietary sources, in particular red meats. For this reason, many people who eat a vegetarian diet may have a relative deficiency.Acetyl-ʟ-carnitine has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and neural cell membranes, and therefore can be helpful in conditions affecting the nervous system. There are studies that document acetyl-ʟ-carnitine may be useful in the prevention of Alzheimer's symptoms. Acetyl-ʟ-carnitine may also be able to assist in preventing mental fatigue associated with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Compared to ʟ-carnitine, it has the ability to assist in cognition, which has not been attributed to the ʟ-carnitine form.
