What is Scitec Nutrition Mental Focus?
Scitec Nutrition Mental Focus is a focus-oriented supplement in capsule form. Each capsule combines three active ingredients: 75mg of caffeine anhydrous, 375mg of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC, which provides 252mg of L-carnitine) and 375mg of L-tyrosine. It also provides 1.8mg of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), which is 30% of the NRV. One 90-capsule pack provides 90 servings.
Scitec describes Mental Focus as a matrix of ingredients with stimulant character: caffeine, acetyl-L-carnitine and an amino acid, tyrosine, that is popular in energy drinks. The formula is made of acetyl-L-carnitine (39%), L-tyrosine (39%) and caffeine anhydrous (7.8%), with a gelatin and shellac capsule shell.
What is it used for?
Mental Focus is used by people who want a mental alertness and concentration boost, for example before a training session, on a demanding working day or during intensive study.
Caffeine is well known for contributing to an increase in alertness and improved concentration. It is also taken to optimise performance during physical effort. Each capsule provides 75mg, about the amount in a standard espresso.
L-tyrosine is an amino acid that the body uses as a raw material for neurotransmitters involved in alertness, and it is a popular ingredient in energy drinks and focus products.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the acetylated form of L-carnitine, with slightly different characteristics from standard L-carnitine. Scitec notes that during intense effort a large part of L-carnitine is converted to ALC in the mitochondria by the enzyme carnitine O-acetyltransferase.
Pantothenic acid is added as a vitamin that supports mental performance and energy metabolism.
Caffeine. ALC. Tyrosine. One capsule built for focus.

⚡ 75mg of caffeine per capsule — alertness and concentration
Caffeine contributes to an increase in alertness and to improved concentration (EU-authorised claims, which apply from 75mg per serving). Each capsule provides exactly 75mg, with a controlled dose in a precise format.
🧠 Acetyl-L-carnitine 375mg — the acetylated carnitine
Each capsule provides 375mg of ALC, which delivers 252mg of L-carnitine. ALC is the form of carnitine that Scitec highlights for its role during intense effort.
🧪 L-tyrosine 375mg — the energy-drink amino acid
Tyrosine is the amino acid Scitec points to as a popular ingredient in energy drinks, and it adds an amino acid dimension to the stimulant matrix.

Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (EU-authorised claims).

🎯 Goal guide
🏋️ Training sessions: 1 capsule before training, as a pre-workout focus routine.
🧠 Demanding days: 1 capsule on study or work days that need sustained concentration.
🌅 Morning routine: 1 capsule in the morning, as an alternative to an extra coffee.
Serving suggestion
Take 1 capsule per day with a large glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Contains caffeine: not recommended for children and pregnant women. Store in a cool, dry place, because heat and sunlight can damage the bottle. Keep out of reach of children. Food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Best times to enjoy it
🌅 In the morning
A morning capsule gives you the caffeine, ALC and tyrosine at the start of a working or studying day.
🏋️ Before training
Scitec does not set a specific time, but taking the capsule 30 to 60 minutes before training lines up the caffeine peak with the session.
🚫 Not late in the day
Caffeine can stay in the body for 5 to 6 hours. For good sleep, avoid taking the capsule in the late afternoon or evening.

Q1 — Why this combination of caffeine, ALC and tyrosine?
Scitec built Mental Focus around three ingredients with a stimulant character. Caffeine is the best known for alertness and concentration. L-tyrosine is an amino acid popular in energy drinks. Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetylated form of carnitine. Pantothenic acid is added as a vitamin for mental performance and energy metabolism.
Q2 — How much caffeine does one capsule contain?
Each capsule contains 75mg of caffeine anhydrous, roughly the amount in a standard espresso. The EFSA safe limit for healthy adults is 400mg of caffeine per day from all sources, so check your total if you also take other caffeinated products.
Q3 — What is acetyl-L-carnitine?
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the acetylated form of L-carnitine. Scitec explains that during intense effort a large part of the L-carnitine in the body is converted to ALC inside the mitochondria. Each capsule provides 375mg of ALC, which contains 252mg of L-carnitine.
Q4 — Who should avoid Mental Focus?
The label states that it contains caffeine and that it is not recommended for children and pregnant women. People who are sensitive to caffeine should be careful, and anyone with a medical condition or taking medication should ask a physician first.
Q5 — How does it compare with the carnitine products in the range?
Mental Focus provides 375mg of acetyl-L-carnitine together with caffeine and tyrosine, in one capsule. Scitec Hyper Carnitine provides 1000mg of acetyl-L-carnitine alone, and Scitec Carni Complex combines L-carnitine L-tartrate with acetyl-L-carnitine. Mental Focus is the one aimed at alertness and concentration, because of the caffeine and tyrosine.
