Insufficient

evidence for acetyl-l-carnitine

Our honest take

An unflavoured acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) powder from a well-known UK brand. We have not been able to verify the serving size, so check the tub for the dose. ALCAR is marketed for energy, but there is not enough good evidence that it helps healthy people who eat a normal diet, and it is not a fat burner. Powders are usually the cheapest way to buy it per gram if you want to try it.

You want a vegan ALCAR powder to add to a drink
You prefer a UK brand
You are buying it for fat loss: the evidence does not support that
You take thyroid medication or blood thinners, unless your GP agrees
You are pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18

The science

Acetyl-L-carnitine· evidence: Insufficient

Acetyl-L-carnitine is a form of carnitine, which the body makes itself and which helps move fat into cells to be used for energy. It is marketed for energy and brain health. There is not enough good evidence that taking it improves exercise performance or energy in healthy people who eat a normal diet.

There is no authorised health claim for it, so we make no claims about its effects.

Typical dose: Products usually provide 0.5–2 g a day

Safety: Can cause stomach upset in some people. Speak to your GP first if you take thyroid medication or blood thinners.
