Acetyl-L-carnitine is one of the most extensively researched brain nutrients with a proven ability to enhance mental energy and wellness. Research shows acetyl-L-carnitine:
  • Energizes the brain
  • Increases levels of important neurotransmitter chemicals needed for memory, focus and learning
  • Repairs the damage done to brain cells
caused by stress and poor nutrition. Because of these three areas of benefit, acetyl- L-carnitine dramatically improves mental focus and energy. Best of all, its effects can be felt in as little as 20 minutes.

Signs of Inadequate Acetyl-L-carnitine Intake Include:
  • Mental fatigue
  • Depression
  • Short attention span
  • Decreased memory and learning ability.
Acetyl-L-carnitine is a natural component of the brain’s chemistry. The body makes it in small amounts. As we age, acetyl-L-carnitine levels in our brain decline. For optimal brain function, therefore, supplements of acetyl-L-carnitine are highly recommended. The only food source for this nutrient is animal brain, which is not a recommended food. Supplemental acetyl-L-carnitine, on the other hand, is synthetically derived from other amino acids and is suitable for vegetarians. Make sure your acetyl-L-carnitine bears the L-Carnipure logo, to know that it is free of the undesirable D-carnitine. Benefits of Acetyl-L-carnitine
