Information on acetyl l carnitine
for Alzheimer's disease
Acetylcarnitine (also
spelled acetyl-l-carnitine) and carnitine play several
important roles in the human body. These nutrients shuttle acetyl groups and fatty acids
into mitochondria for energy production. Without carnitine, fatty acids cannot easily
enter into mitochondria. The acetyl group of acetylcarnitine is used to form
acetyl-CoA, the most important intermediary in the generation of energy from
amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates. Therefore, acetylcarnitine serves as an
energy reservoir of acetyl groups and both acetylcarnitine and carnitine help improve energy production. The acetyl
group of acetylcarnitine is also used to make the important brain chemical
acetylcholine. Some studies suggest that perhaps acetylcarnitine can even act as a neurotransmitter itself.
Those who take carnitine pills notice an
increase in physical energy levels, but not as much mental energy. Acetylcarnitine has a significantly more
immediate and noticeable mental effect than carnitine. If you have an interest
in losing weight, perhaps even a few pounds a week, consider doctor formulated
Diet Rx.
