Why Choose It

Unlike products that combine carnitine with other ingredients, this one gives you a single substance with the amount written per capsule, so you can count the dose without calculations. The 100 vegetable capsule pack suits anyone who prefers one container to keep at home or in the gym bag, and NOW Foods states that production follows cGMP rules.

Active ingredient: acetyl-L-carnitine from hydrochloride
Content per capsule: 500 mg
Label serving: 1,000 mg per 2 capsules
Pack: 100 vegetable capsules, 50 servings
Shell: hypromellose
Certifications and labelling: non-GMO, vegan, kosher

The label directs adults only to take 1 or 2 capsules, 1 to 2 times a day, as needed, so the maximum labelled dose is 4 capsules, equal to 2,000 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. It is aimed at adults who train or follow a plant-based diet and want to add carnitine in its acetylated form, with a dose that is easy to split across the day. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and should be used as part of a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first. After opening, store the pack in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.

What is the difference between L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine?

Acetyl-L-carnitine is carnitine bound to an acetyl group, a different chemical form from plain L-carnitine or the tartrate. The milligrams on the label refer to acetyl-L-carnitine alone, so when comparing products always check the amount of active substance per serving.

When should you take acetyl-L-carnitine?

The label does not tie intake to a specific time: it directs 1 or 2 capsules, 1 or 2 times a day, as needed. You can pick the times that suit your routine, without going over 4 capsules a day.

Are the capsules suitable for a vegan diet?

The shell is hypromellose, a cellulose derivative, and the manufacturer declares the product vegan. The full list of other ingredients is printed on the pack.
