How Does Acetyl L-Carnitine or ALC Work?

The first component of life extension complex Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is a cognitive enhancer and neuroprotective agent that protects against a wide range of age-related degenerative changes in the brain and nervous system. ALC is an ester of carnitine that modulates cellular concentrations of free coenzyme A and acetyl-coenzyme A, two compounds integrally involved in numerous cellular functions, including the transfer of fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes for energy production.

Here is a Summary List

 ALC or ALCAR Reduces Brown Spots, a universal sign of aging.
 
 ALCAR reduces deterioration of brain cells associated with aging

Why Alpha Lipoic Acid is Essential
ALA is a vitamin-like compound, first isolated from potatoes. It was designated lipoic acid over 50 years ago, as it was commonly found associated with lipids, or fatty areas of the cell. This life extension substance was subsequently found to be soluble in water and also able to penetrate lipid environments, a property lending considerable versatility to this nutrient.

ALA is a nutrient that comes close to being a vitamin. Vitamins are nutrients required for health but, for the most part, produced in insufficient amount (or not at all) by the cells of the body. Under certain conditions of cellular stress, ALA may not be synthesized in sufficient quantities. Thus it could be classified a para-vitamin or conditionally essential nutrient.

How does Bioperine™ work?
The metabolic process that generates energy at the cellular level in our body is called thermogenesis. While thermogenesis has typically been categorized as a key factor in weight loss, to confine the scope of its function to this aspect alone is incomplete. Thermogenesis plays an integral role in our body's ability to properly utilize the daily foods and nutrients we take in. It sets in motion the mechanisms that lead to digestion and subsequent gastrointestinal absorption. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine™ enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity - hence the term Thermonutrient™.

This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing thermal energy sufficient to "power up" mechanisms related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that create a "demand" for "supply" of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if Bioperine™ activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood. Based on available research, piperine is unique in its thermonutrient activity.

Bioperine™ is the only source of piperine to obtain patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. Bioperine™ is also the only source of piperine to undergo clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use.
