Carnitine is a substance that helps the body turn fat into energy.
Your body makes it in the liver and kidneys and stores it in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and sperm.

Q.What vegan foods contain L-carnitine?
A.Unfortunately, L-carnitine come mostly in animal products. It is commonly found in beef, pork, milk, chicken, fish, eggs, and cheese.
Still, L-carnitine can be found in some vegen foods. Those are avocado, asparagus, bread, cooked rice, and orange juice.
Q.What are the functions of the Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
A.Acetyl L-carnitine works to convert fat into energy in your body and is used in many parts of your body, particularly your muscle tissues, according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Carnitine is found in dairy products and meats, but your body manufactures all it needs from methionine and lysine. In some people, carnitine production is inhibited, creating a deficiency. People who have certain genetic conditions, diabetes, liver cirrhosis and heart conditions all tend to have carnitine deficiencies, explains the University of Michigan Health System.
Q.Why is it necessary?
A. Because L-carnitine is involved in cellular metabolism, acetyl-L-carnitine can help increase energy production in the mitochondria, the "power plants" of all cells, and thereby may generally boost physical and mental energy. As a dietary supplement, acetyl-L-carnitine is often used to help improve memory, and has been studied as a possible adjunct treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Acetyl-L-carnitine may also help address symptoms of depression, and may be useful in the treatment o fParkinson's disease, stroke, and Peyronie's disease. In addition, daily supplementation with acetyl-L-carnitine may have a protective effect on the central nervous system and may benefit the heart. There is also some evidence that acetyl-L-carnitine can enhance visual memory and attention in people with Down Syndrome, and clinical data indicates that it also may slow age-related mental decline that is not associated with Alzheimer's.
