Genom att binda ättiksyran till karnitin får man ALC. ALC har ett mycket bättre upptag i kroppen och får även den unika egenskapen att den kan passera blod-hjärnbarriären och komma hjärnans celler tillgodo.
All form av stress såväl träning som skola and arbetsliv men även besvär som nedstämdhet and depressioner leder till att kroppens produktion av kortisol ökar. Kortisolen är nedbrytande för kroppen and försvårar återhämtningen.

ALC is obtained by binding acetic acid to carnitine. ALC is absorbed much better into the body and also has the unique property of being able to cross the blood brain barrier and benefit the brain cells.
All forms of stress, both training and education and working life, not to mention problems with feeling low and depressed, lead to an increase in the body’s production of cortisol. The cortisol has a destructive effect on the body and hampers its recovery.
