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

- Protects the brain from stress
- Helps repair physically damaged nerves
- Helps stroke victims
- Helps prevent age-related memorydeterioration
- Increases learning capacity
- Enhances immune function
