  • Its 1,500 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine HCl (filed by NIH under acetyl L-carnitine) is higher than 96% of the 933 acetyl L-carnitine products that print an amount; 14 list more.

The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
