Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) has been shown to help slow the aging process and preserve mental function. It is important for optimal brain function for several reasons.
First, Carnitine is readily converted into acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is critical for learning and concentration.
Second, carnitine is a neuronal energizer; this allows for energy production within the brain cells. Without enough energy, your brain can't produce enough antioxidants to protect it against free radical damage.
As more and more brain cells are destroyed by free radicals, you will have more difficulty concentrating, and your response time will slow down. This supplement is mainly used to enhance cognitive function.
Many researchers believe that the age-related decline in carnitine may be a causal factor in the onset of brain degenerative diseases.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is in a highly bioavailabe form of L-Carnitine that can cross the blood-brain barrier, where it exerts an antioxidant effect, helps to maintain healthy cellular energy metabolism and support brain function.
