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.
