Acetyl-L-carnitine capsules: 500 mg of hydrochloride in a vegetable shell

NOW Foods acetyl-L-carnitine capsules provide 500 mg of the active ingredient per capsule, sourced from acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride. It is the acetylated form of carnitine, a modified amino acid you can add to your supplement routine with a clear, easy-to-count dose. The bottle holds 50 veg capsules with a hypromellose shell, so there is no animal gelatine. This page covers the composition, how to use it and answers to the most common questions.

Why Choose It

This listing gives you an essential formula: one active ingredient, 500 mg per capsule, a plant-based shell and a bottle of 50 capsules that is simple to dose. NOW Foods is a US brand specialising in supplements, with a broad amino acid range, and this product is its acetyl-L-carnitine version. When you compare labels, you see form, dose and ingredients at once, with no blends to decipher.

Active ingredient: acetyl-L-carnitine, from acetyl-L-carnitine HCl, 500 mg per capsule
Form: vegetable capsule
Bottle contents: 50 capsules
Shell material: hypromellose (HPMC)
Intended for: adults only
Storage: keep in a cool, dry place after opening

The manufacturer's directions are 1-2 capsules per serving, repeated as needed as shown on the label of the bottle you receive. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose: the supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and should be part of a healthy lifestyle.

It is made for adults who want to add carnitine in a vegetable capsule, for example people who train regularly and follow a structured meal plan. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first. Keep the bottle out of the reach of children.

When should I take acetyl-L-carnitine?

The label gives the amount per serving but no fixed time of day. Some people take it in the morning and others before training, but these are personal habits rather than a manufacturer's instruction. Pick a time you can stick to and stay within the recommended dose.

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

Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated form of L-carnitine, meaning it carries an extra acetyl group in the molecule. They are sold as two separate ingredients, so always check the label for the form used and the milligrams in each capsule.

Are the capsules suitable for a vegan diet?

The shell is hypromellose, which is plant-derived, and NOW Foods declares the formula vegan. Still, check the ingredient list on the bottle you receive, as it is the official reference.
