Factors such as surgery, diet, rapid growth, or strenuous exercise can also cause a semi-essential amino acid to become essential. The rate at which our bodies absorb the amino acid then falls short of meeting our needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Vegetarians and vegans are prone to imbalance\r \u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, adequate carnitine levels can be difficult to achieve, especially for vegetarians and vegans. This semi-essential amino acid is primarily found in animal proteins; meat and dairy are the primary sources. Therefore, if you follow a lifestyle with little to no animal products, supplementing with Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg may be beneficial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Highly bioavailable form of carnitine\u003cbr\u003e As the name suggests, for Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg, we use only the l-structure form of carnitine. From a biochemical perspective, this multifunctional amino acid exists in two forms: the l- and d-structure. The body recognizes only the l-structure form (levorotatory form) as natural. The reversed form, the d-form, does not occur in living organisms and is therefore referred to as synthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Easily absorbed by acetyl\r \u003cbr\u003eAcetyl is essentially a molecule, so the acetyl group isn't a molecule in itself. You could compare it to an arm or a leg, highly functional within the body as a whole, but useless on their own. Nevertheless, the combination of acetyl and carnitine is highly valuable within our bodies. Three properties of the molecule ensure more efficient passage through the cell membrane:\u003cbr\u003e - Acetyl is a lipid-like compound, allowing the intestine to absorb the molecule as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e - The acetyl bond protects the molecule from oxidation, which results in rapid diffusion in the cell.\u003cbr\u003e The enzymes in our cells can break this bond very quickly. This allows the body to absorb acetyl-L-carnitine effectively, unlike regular carnitine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A high dose of 500 mg per tablet\r \u003cbr\u003eBesides the quality of the nutrient, the dosage is also important. A higher dosage simply provides more active ingredients and therefore a greater effect. Most acetyl-L-carnitine supplements contain between 250 and 400 mg per capsule. In contrast, studies conducted with this amino acid use dosages between 500 and 2000 mg. Therefore, Vitakruid's Acetyl-L-Carnitine contains a whopping 500 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine per capsule, and it is recommended to take two to four capsules per day!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCompound\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"width:450px\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComposition per dose (1 vega capsule):\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Acetyl-L-Carnitine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 500 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acetyl-L-Carnitine, hypromellose (vegetarian capsule), rice starch, stearic acid (anti-caking agent)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Take 2 to 4 capsules daily, unless otherwise directed.
