Carnitine Synergy™

Promotes Energy Production and Fat Metabolism*

Combines L-carnitine and its acetylated form to support fatty acid metabolism, healthy energy production, and heart health.*

Carnitine, a conditionally essential molecule, plays a key role in energy production, especially in using fats as an energy source.*

• Supports mitochondrial function*
• Promotes fatty acid metabolism*
• Supports energy production*
• Promotes brain health*
• Supports heart health*

Recommended Use: Take 1 capsule per day before meals or as directed by your health-care practitioner.

Two forms of L-carnitine in a 4:1 ratio

Carnitine Synergy™ uniquely combines L‑carnitine and its acetylated form into each capsule in a 4:1 ratio.* Carnitine is required to bring long‑chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta‑oxidation (the process of converting fats into cellular energy). Acetyl‑L‑carnitine is one of the most common metabolites of carnitine, and it can cross into the mitochondrial membrane to support energy production.*

What This Product Is

Carnitine Synergy™ features two forms of the conditionally essential molecule of carnitine to support mitochondrial function and energy production. Carnitine is required to bring long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation — the process of converting fats into cellular energy. Carnitine Synergy™ uniquely combines L-carnitine and its acetylated form into each capsule in a 4:1 ratio to support fatty acid metabolism and metabolic health. *

Carnitine has key roles in energy production, especially in using fats as an energy source. It may also promote cellular health by helping prevent the accumulation of long-chain fatty acids in cells. Carnitine may also support healthy glucose metabolism. Carnitine levels may be impacted by metabolism, certain medications, liver function, excretion rates, or aging. Acetyl-L-carnitine is one of the most common metabolites of carnitine and can cross into the mitochondrial membrane to support energy production and brain health.*

Mechanism of Action

Beta-Oxidation and Fatty Acid Transport

Carnitine is required to transport long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation, where fats are converted into cellular energy. Supplementation with L-carnitine supports this transport system, promoting efficient fatty acid metabolism and energy production.*

Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Brain Support

Acetyl-L-carnitine can cross into the mitochondrial membrane and also supports brain health. Its acetylated form provides unique neurological benefits beyond those of L-carnitine alone, making the combination of both forms synergistic for whole-body support.*

Cellular Health and Glucose Metabolism

By facilitating the proper metabolism of long-chain fatty acids, carnitine may help prevent their accumulation in cells, which can cause cellular damage. Carnitine may also support healthy glucose metabolism, contributing to overall metabolic health.*

Applications

  • Athletes and active individuals seeking to optimize fatty acid metabolism for energy production*
  • Those looking to support mitochondrial function and cellular energy*
  • Individuals seeking brain health support alongside cardiovascular benefits*
  • Those whose carnitine levels may be impacted by aging, medications, or metabolic factors*
  • Individuals seeking a synergistic dual-form carnitine supplement in an optimized ratio*

Key Ingredients / Formula Highlights

L-Carnitine (400 mg per serving)

Provided as L-carnitine tartrate to promote normal cellular energy production through fatty acid transport into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation.*

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (100 mg per serving)

The acetylated form of carnitine that crosses into the mitochondrial membrane to support energy production, with specific additional support for brain health.*

Optimized 4:1 Ratio

The 4:1 ratio of L-carnitine to acetyl-L-carnitine provides synergistic support for both systemic energy metabolism and targeted neurological benefits. Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and non-GMO.*

Suggested Use

Take 1 capsule per day before meals, or as directed by your health-care practitioner.

Product Questions

Why does Carnitine Synergy™ combine two forms of carnitine?

L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine each provide distinct benefits. L-carnitine supports fatty acid transport and energy production throughout the body, while acetyl-L-carnitine crosses into the mitochondrial membrane and provides targeted brain health support. The 4:1 ratio in each capsule provides synergistic whole-body and neurological benefits.*

How does Carnitine Synergy™ differ from Carnitine Tartrate and CarniClear?

Carnitine Synergy™ combines L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine in a convenient capsule for dual-form support. Carnitine Tartrate provides a higher-potency powdered L-carnitine for those seeking rapid absorption and flexible dosing. CarniClear offers liquid L-carnitine for those preferring a liquid delivery. The choice depends on individual dosing needs and preferred delivery format.*

Who may benefit most from Carnitine Synergy™?

Individuals seeking comprehensive carnitine support for energy production, fatty acid metabolism, brain health, and heart health. Those whose carnitine levels may be impacted by aging, certain medications, liver function, or metabolic factors may particularly benefit from dual-form supplementation.*
