Acetyl L-Carnitine
(Powder or Capsules)
Greater
bio-availability and stability. Pharmaceutical USP grade HPLC
certified, 100% pure ultra-micronized for maximum bioavailability.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a stabilized and more absorbable form of the amino acid
L-Carnitine. Acetyl-L-Carnitine plays an important role in protecting and
supporting brain and muscle function. As an antioxidant, Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects neurons
from damage caused by superoxide radicals.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is involved in aspects of neuronal metabolism because its
molecular structure resembles the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Supplementing
with Acetyl L-Carnitine may improve acetylcholine production and stimulation of
protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis.
Research on
Acetyl-L-Carnitine shows it can be very useful in supporting normal brain
function, and possibly be useful for strokes, Down's syndrome and the management
of various neuropathies. The effects of supplementing with carnitine has been
extensively researched in many areas, including exercise performance, weight
loss, treatment of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetic neuropathy, depression and
other neurological disorders, treatment of alcoholism, treatment of
cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance, and many others.

Acetyl-l-carnitine is a molecule that occurs naturally in the brain, liver and
kidney and diminish as we age. Some of the primary used of acetyl L-Carnitine
are as follows:
-
May
Enhance cognition.
-
Involved
in the metabolism of food into energy.
-
Showed a
significant improvement in performances during after acetyl-l-carnitine
treatment in the elderly.
-
Reports
indicate that Acetyl-l-carnitine may be effective in the treatment of
dementia.
-
Treated
Down syndrome patients showed statistically significant improvements of
visual memory and attention both in absolute terms and in comparison with
the other groups.
-
May
significantly reduce severity of depressive symptoms in the elderly.
-
May
improve both spatial and temporal memory, and reduce the amount of oxidative
damage to RNA in the brain's hippocampus, an area important in memory.
The acetyl
group that is part of acetyl-L-carnitine contributes to the production of the
neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is required for mental function. Several
double-blind clinical trials suggest that acetyl-L-carnitine delays the
progression of Alzheimer’s disease and enhances overall performance in some
people with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s research has been done with the
acetyl-L-carnitine form, rather than the L-carnitine form, of this nutrient.
Several clinical trials have found that acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation
delays the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, improves memory, and enhances
overall performance in some people with Alzheimer’s disease. Overall, most
short-term studies have shown clinical benefits, and most long-term studies (one
year) have shown a reduction in the rate of deterioration.
Brain Function: One double-blind trial has found that acetyl-L-carnitine
may be helpful for people with degenerative cerebellar ataxia, a loss of
muscular coordination caused by disease in the cerebellum (the hind part of the
brain that controls muscle tone and balance).
Several clinical trials suggest that acetyl-L-carnitine delays onset of ARCD and
improves overall cognitive function in the elderly. In a controlled clinical
trial, acetyl-L-carnitine was given to elderly people with mild cognitive
impairment. After 45 days of acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation at 1,500 mg per
day, significant improvements in cognitive function (especially memory) were
observed. Another large trial of acetyl-L-carnitine for mild cognitive
impairment in the elderly found that 1,500 mg per day for 90 days significantly
improved memory, mood, and responses to stress. The favorable effects persisted
at least 30 days after treatment was discontinued. Controlled and uncontrolled
clinical trials on acetyl-L-carnitine corroborate these findings.
Depression: Acetyl-L-carnitine may be effective for depression
experienced by the elderly. A preliminary trial found that acetyl-L-carnitine
supplementation was effective at relieving depression in a group of elderly
people, particularly those showing more serious clinical symptoms. These results
were confirmed in another similar clinical trial. In that trial, participants
received either 500 mg three times a day of acetyl-L-carnitine or a matching
placebo. Those receiving acetyl-L-carnitine experienced significantly reduced
symptoms of depression compared to those receiving placebo. At least two other
clinical studies of acetyl-L-carnitine for depression in the elderly have
reported similar results.
Improves exercise capacity and fat loss.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine facilitates the
metabolism of fatty acids for energy generation. A greater reliance on fat for
energy can result in a sparing of muscle glycogen, an enhancement of exercise
performance and a reduction in stored body fat. Acetyl-L-Carnitine has profound
effects on endurance and exercise performance by reducing the respiratory
exchange ratio and reducing lactic acid accumulation in muscles extending
exercise capacity before fatigue.
Recommended Usage:
As a dietary supplement,
take 1000 mg 1 to 3 times per day
preferably on an empty stomach, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. Brush after consumption
if using the capsule to
reduce acid exposure to teeth. Some
powdered items may be hygroscopic and may clump
during shipment. This does not effect the efficacy of the product,
only the texture. For our powder acetyl l-carnitine: 1 scoop = 1 serving = 1
gram (1000 mg) = 1/5 teaspoon.
Hypoallergenic: contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy, wheat, sugar, starch, salt, preservatives, or artificial
color, flavor or fragrance.
Warning: Pregnant or lactating women should consult with
a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking dietary supplements.
