How Does Acetyl L-Carnitine or ALC Work?
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is a cognitive enhancer and neuroprotective agent that protects against a wide range of age-related degenerative changes in the brain and nervous system. ALC is an ester of carnitine that modulates cellular concentrations of free coenzyme A and acetyl-coenzyme A, two compounds integrally involved in numerous cellular functions, including the transfer of fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes for energy production. Here is a summary list of the claimed effects of ACL: • ALC or ALCAR reduces brown spots, a universal sign of aging. • ALCAR reduces deterioration of brain cells associated with aging. • ALCAR reduces risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and may slow Progress. • ACAR also reduces risk of Parkinson’s Disease and may slow progress. • Restores NMDA receptors. • ALCAR reverses neuroendocrine aging. • Restores nerve growth factor function. • ALCAR restores mitochodrial activity and cardiolipin to more youthful levels. • ALCAR facilitates both the release and sy
