AcetylCarnitine vs Beta-Alanine Comparison, Similarities & Differences

Acetylcarnitine, also known as ALCAR or Acetyl L-Carnitine, is a form of L-carnitine that is produced within the body naturally. It is sold as a dietary supplement and has been known to cross the blood-brain barrier. It primarily increases the production of the important neurotransmitter Acetylcholine thus, improving memory and learning. Moreover, it has been suggested to improve cognition among those with dementia and may have neuroprotective properties among individuals with Parkinson's disease. In studies with rodents, it has been found to significantly reduce neurotoxicity and possibly prevent substances from killing brain cells.
