Promotes 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. The efficacy of long-term
acetyl-l-carnitine 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.
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.
