Briefly, L-Carnitine is for heart, Acethyl-L-Carnitine is for brain.
To your best days.

Hi, my question is, seeing acetyl l-carnitine, works for the brain and L-carnitine for the heart. If I need help in both areas. Should I take both AL-Carn & L-Carn.? Thank you in advance.

HOWEVER...and this is VERY important: It is very advisable to eat SOMETHING that contains a decent amount of carbohydrates, especially glucose, because acetyl l-carnitine, especially when coupled with ALA--alpha lipoic acid--drastically and rapidly lower blood-sugar, and I actually had a very severe hypoglycemic-attack about six days ago because I took a "rather" large dose of ALA and acetyl l-carnitine on a fully empty stomach, and had not eaten for about 10 hours, or so.
