Acetyl L-Carnitine *The cellular fuel for energy production
Acetyl L-Carnitine is awesome! Why? It's literally the fuel pipe which delivers the beneficial chemistry into every cell for energy production.
Energy and metabolism promoting, Alcar supports healthy cell and tissue function, brain health, memory and attention.
Beneficial for EMS/IR and PSSM horses, joint/mobility issues, and especially useful for senior horses for healthy aging.
Key Benefits
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (Alcar) is an acetylated form of the naturally occurring amino acid, L-Carnitine. L-Carnitine facilitates the transport of fatty acids - which, like glucose, are fuels for cellular respiration - into the mitochondria (the energy-producing centre of all cells), thus playing an important role in cellular energy production.
Optimises mitochondrial function for energy production.
Boosts metabolism for better energy use and performance.
Supports leptin resistance and insulin sensitivity.
Helps support weight loss. Carnitine is a powerful fat burner and is used to help the transportation of fats into the cells to be used for energy.
Boosts muscle work capacity and loosens muscle tightness (beneficial for PSSM).
Supports the physiological function of the heart muscle, strengthening its performance, hence beneficial for our senior horses and horses prone to circulatory issues.

More ...
Personally? I feed it to all my horses, specifically to my three EMS to support leptin resistance and IR, and also to Carms, my TB, to support muscle tightness as she's officially 2/10 lame (although she'd like to disagree).
Meanwhile, Dr Kellon has also posted on the benefits of feeding ALCar to our horses in her Dr K's Horse Sense series - Acetyl-L-Carnitine – The Powerful, Versatile Nutrient You Never Heard Of and Acetyl L-Carnitine for Horses
Reviews
- Good morning carol, Just wanted to let you know that I have a pony who has turned the most massive corner after introducing the advice you gave into her feed.. wow!!No more starving pony trying to eat me, no more scraping walls, kicking, biting and generally making me lose the will to live! After getting a set of X-rays done and a date with the farrier, both he and the vet asked directly if I had her sedated ... that’s what it felt like. Relaxed, happy to oblige pony. I know we have a long road ahead but without your help and advice I’d be lost!!! A million Thanks from me and Lotti!
