The body makes carnitine from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and it is also found in meat and dairy. In this product it comes as N-acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride, a free-form amino acid, at 500 mg per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label describes acetyl-L-carnitine as a highly bioavailable form of L-carnitine. That is the main reason people pick it over plain L-carnitine, which Natural Factors sells separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule is made from carbohydrate gum (cellulose) and purified water, with microcrystalline cellulose, silica and magnesium stearate. Regenerlife Acetyl-L-Carnitine carries the ISURA verified clean and non-GMO marks and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults take 2 capsules twice a day with meals, for 2,000 mg a day. Some people feel overstimulated or have trouble sleeping; stop if that continues or worsens. Ask a health care practitioner first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have been told to follow a low-protein diet. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a bottle lasts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the full 4 capsules a day, the 90 capsules last a little over three weeks. It is the smaller of two sizes and a good way to try the product before moving up to the 120-capsule bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder adults looking at acetyl-L-carnitine for the first time, and anyone who wants a short three-week supply before committing to a larger bottle. Vegetarians and vegans can take it, since there is no gelatin in the capsule and no animal-derived ingredient in the formula. People who eat little red meat or dairy, the main food sources of carnitine, also look at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the bottle closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
