Acetyl L Carnitine is a supplement to help people burn unwanted or excess body fat. Acetyl L-Carnitine, also known simply as L-Carnitine, transports fatty acids across the inner mitochondra membrane where they are burned and used as energy. Without acetyl L-Carnitine, fatty acids pile up, leading to weight gain. L-Carnitine also helps enhance memory; some people take it to help combat Alzheimer's disease. Certain foods including meats, vegetables and fish contain this supplement.
