Acetyl l-Carnitine
Manufacturer Pure Encapsulations
Size 60 vegetarian caps
Promotes healthy mental functioning.
2-4 capsules per day, in divided doses, between meals.
The result of Acetyl-l-Carnitine's effects on the nervous system
at the cellular level is safe and natural nutritional support of
healthy mental functioning.
Acetyl-l-carnitine is the acetylated form of l-carnitine, and
the two compounds share similar energy and metabolism promoting
properties. Found naturally in the body, acetyl-l-carnitine
supports the availability of acetyl-CoA, an important energy
generating metabolite. In addition, it supports proper
mitochondrial function and cell membrane stability. The acetyl
group from acetyl-l-carnitine is also responsible for production
of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter for optimal
mental functioning.

supplementation was determined in a double blind placebo
controlled randomized trial involving 130 elderly individuals
for a one-year period. In this trial, acetyl-l-carnitine
demonstrated the ability to slow negative cognitive changes, and
supported memory and attention. In another randomized double
blind study, three-month acetyl-l-carnitine supplementation
provided statistically significant support for mental function,
including memory and attention, compared to placebo. A
multicenter trial of 481 volunteers showed significant memory,
behavioral and emotional support with acetyl-l-carnitine
supplementation. In an evaluation of 28 elderly individuals
using acetyl-l-carnitine or placebo, the supplemented group
experienced enhanced emotional well-being.
