Description: Acetyl-L-Carnitine Powder by NOW
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.
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). Taking NOW Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a smart choicle in ensursing brain health for years to come. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a stabilized form of the amino acid metabolite L-Carnitine and is utilized in the same manner in the body. ALC plays an important role in protecting and supporting brain functions. |
