Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid the body uses to turn fat into energy. It is not normally considered an essential nutrient because the body can manufacture all it needs. However, supplemental Carnitine may improve the ability of certain tissues to produce energy. This effect has led to the use of Carnitine in various muscle diseases as well as heart conditions.

Acetyl-L-carnitine is used for a variety of mental disorders including Alzheimer's disease, age-related memory loss, late-life depression, thinking problems related to alcoholism, and thinking problems related to Lyme disease. It is also used for Down syndrome, poor circulation in the brain, cataracts, nerve pain due to diabetes, nerve pain due to drugs used in the treatment of AIDS, and facial paralysis.

Benefits

Research has proven that that ALCAR benefits both the brain and body in a surprising variety of ways, from enhancing cognitive abilities to increasing energy, reducing pain, and even preventing damage from alcohol consumption.

Cognitive Enhancer

ALCAR has repeatedly been proven to improve and enhance brain function. Studies show that it successfully reduces mental fatigue and enhances cognitive function and improves learning ability. ALCAR's primary nootropic function is the enhancement of the acetylcholine system. It is believed to be a promote the production of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter associated with memory and learning. ALCAR supplementation is known to enhance the action of other nootropics like such as those in the racetam family.

An Effective Neuroprotectant

Because of its potent antioxidant properties, ALCAR acts as a neuroprotectant, preventing and even repairing damage caused by free radicals that scavenge and damage brain cells. It also helps the brain rid itself of other toxins and is thought to reduce cell death due to excitotoxicity, a pathological process triggered by the overactivation of glutamate receptors. ALCAR improves the neural network by strengthening nerves and signal receptors and has even been shown to protect the brain against the harmful effects of drinking alcohol.

Potential Treatment for Age-related Disorders

One of ALCAR's most exciting prospects is as a treatment for age-related neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's Disease. It has been shown to effectively slow decline in Alzheimer's patients and reduce age-related memory loss. Other studies showed that ALCAR helps restore ambulatory capability in the aged and acts as a mood elevator and anti-depressant in the elderly.
