Acetyl l Carnitine Alpha lipoic acid
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.

Acetyl l carnitine and alpha lipoic acid are two nutrients that you may find together in supplement form. There are various products that have a combination of acetyl l carnitine alpha lipoic acid, and these include Juvenon and NSI. There is no human research that says taking the high dosages of acetyl l carnitine 500 mg alpha lipoic acid 200 mg provides health benefits or increases life span. In our opinion, these dosages are too high and may actually be counterproductive.
