Acetyl-L-Carnitine? Acetylcarnitine is a common misspelling of acetyl-L-carnitine.
Acetyl-L-carnitine is a type of compound found in the human body that is essential for proper functioning of mitochondria, the "energy factories" of human cells. Although it is found in many foods, acetyl-L-carnitine is produced naturally by the human body and is also available in dietary supplements. The supplements are claimed to be useful for a variety of conditions. At this time, however, not enough information is available to confirm the supplement's wide-ranging effectiveness.
