Acetyl L-Carnitine

L-carnitine (LC) is an amino acid that the body naturally produces. Acetyl L-carnitine, often known as ALC, is the synthetic version. Because of its antioxidant properties, it may promote fertility and reduce endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) symptoms.

The health of sperm also seems to be affected by L-carnitine. LC and ALC supplements taken orally have been found to enhance sperm motility. Acetyl-L-carnitine promotes sperm maturation, improves sperm motility, and protects spermatozoa from oxidative damage in low sperm count patients. Additionally, sperm's vitality and motility seemed to be enhanced by adding LC before being frozen for use in fertility treatments.
