The evidence in words
The interaction
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) and L-Carnitine — a synergy interaction. Overlapping carnitine pool; ALCAR is the more brain-penetrant form.
What to do
These two complement each other — taking them together is reasonable and, for the stated reason, may work better than either alone.
About Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)
Acetyl-L-carnitine is an acetylated form of carnitine that crosses the blood-brain barrier better than plain L-carnitine.
The bigger picture
Supplement–drug and supplement–supplement interactions are the reason a stack should be read as a system, not a list. This platform's interactions graph maps them; the medication side always belongs with the person who prescribes it.
