Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid which has similar functions to L-Carnitine; however the Acetyl form has shown to increase levels of a brain molecule called Acetylcholine.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) occurs naturally in the brain but levels may decrease in old age, recent research suggests that a supplementation of ALC helps improve memory function and also protects against loss of receptors in the brain cells, which without we cannot form memories. Clinical trials suggest that ALC delays the progression of Alzheimers Disease.

ALC appears to help energy metabolism in the brains nerve centres and helps prevent damage when there is a lack of oxygen in the brain. ALC helps to protect the sheath around the nerves called the myelin without which our nerves cannot transmit messages effectively, which in turn may be useful in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.

It has been shown that ALC is also effective as a heart tonic because it converts fatty acids into energy and also can help to reduce cholesterol.

ALC is an excellent supplement for improving mental alertness, muscle weakness and improving endurance to exercise.
