Pure Encapsulations Acetyl-l-Carnitine 500 mg | Memory Supplement for Brain Mental Focus and Emotional Wellness* | 60 Capsules

Description

Acetyl-l-carnitine is the acetylated form of l-carnitine and the two compounds share similar energy and metabolism promoting properties. Found naturally in the body acetyl-l-carnitine supports the availability of acetyl-CoA an important energy generating metabolite. In addition it supports healthy mitochondrial function and cell membrane stability. The acetyl group from acetyl-l-carnitine is also responsible for production of acetylcholine an important neurotransmitter for optimal mental functioning. The efficacy of long-term acetyl-l-carnitine supplementation was evaluated in a double blind placebo-controlled randomized trial involving 130 elderly individuals for a one-year period. In this trial acetyl-l-carnitine supported healthy cognitive function memory and attention. In another randomized double blind study three-month acetyl-l-carnitine supplementation provided statistically significant support for mental function including memory and attention compared to placebo. A multicenter trial of 481 volunteers indicated memory behavioral and emotional support with acetyl-l-carnitine supplementation. In an evaluation of 28 elderly individuals using acetyl-l-carnitine or placebo the supplemented group experienced enhanced emotional well-being.*
