Acetyl-L-carnitine powder: one ingredient, declared dose

NOW Foods acetyl-L-carnitine powder has a single ingredient: acetyl-L-carnitine supplied as the hydrochloride, with nothing else added. The 85 g tub suits anyone who prefers to measure carnitine by the teaspoon instead of counting capsules. Each serving of half a level teaspoon (about 1.5 g) declares 1,240 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine, taken from 1,500 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine HCl. NOW Foods is a US brand founded in 1948.

Key Features of Acetyl-L-Carnitine Powder

1,240 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine per serving, from 1,500 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine HCl: it is one figure stated two ways, not two ingredients.
Single ingredient: the label lists only acetyl-L-carnitine, so there are no declared flavours, sweeteners or other additives.
Loose powder by the teaspoon: half a level teaspoon, about 1.5 g, with no capsules to open or count.
Hydrochloride source: the acetyl-L-carnitine comes in hydrochloride form, as stated in the ingredient declaration.
Modified amino acid: acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated form of carnitine, classed by the manufacturer among modified amino acids.
Flexible intake: the label allows 1 or 2 servings a day, as needed.

Why Choose It

The ingredient list has a single entry and the dose is declared precisely: 1,240 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine per half level teaspoon. A powder is measured by the spoon, whereas with capsules the amount depends on the number of units you take. NOW Foods also states the starting form on the label, the hydrochloride.

Format: 85 g tub of powder
Serving: half a level teaspoon, about 1.5 g
Acetyl-L-carnitine per serving: 1,240 mg, from 1,500 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine HCl
Other ingredients: none
Intake: 1 or 2 times a day, as needed

Stir half a level teaspoon of powder, about 1.5 g, into water or a drink of your choice, once or twice a day as needed. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose: the label allows two servings a day at most. The product is meant for adults who train and want a single-ingredient carnitine supplement in powder form that is measured by the teaspoon. It does not replace a varied and balanced diet. If you are pregnant or nursing, take medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first. Keep the tub tightly closed in a cool, dry place and do not eat the packet inside.

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

Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated form of carnitine, meaning an acetyl group is attached to the molecule. Here it is supplied as the hydrochloride, as a powder with no other ingredients. When you compare labels, check which form is declared, because milligrams of different forms are not equivalent.

Why does the label show both 1,240 mg and 1,500 mg?

It is the same figure stated two ways: 1,500 mg is the weight of the compound acetyl-L-carnitine HCl, while 1,240 mg is the amount of acetyl-L-carnitine it contains. To compare this product with others, use the 1,240 mg per serving figure.

How do you take the powder?

The label says half a level teaspoon, once or twice a day as needed. You can stir it into water or another drink of your choice. Always check the label on your tub for the exact dose.
