acetyl l carnitine?

Supposedly a benefit to memory and sort of anti - alzheimers supplement. Also heard it assists fat burning, anyone use this stuff that way? Just kind of stumbled upon it and am wondering what the impact might be.

I use it. Useful when combined with green tea extract and cayenne pepper for a little assistance when cutting. Also helps with focus in the gym when taken pre workout.

Thanks for the response!

Do you take it in pill form?

Im going to paraphrase a good friend of mine and list some of the health benefits
"Anti-aging, Anti-Cancer, Heart health, cardiovascular health, Neurological function, Eyes, are a few."

I take mine in pill form called ALCAR

Here is an article that was referenced with plenty of sources for your research.

No I buy it in bulk powder form (and make big savings!) and take in 3x times a day in 1g doses. As shown in the link given by Bunny it has many uses and well worth considering.

Good read

Here's an interesting read on ALCAR and ALA, a worthy combo?

Alpha-Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Thank you for the link.

That is one of a couple dozen studies by Bruce Ames, who is the world's leading authority on cancer. He invented the AMES index which tells who carcinogenic a given material is. A very dear friend of mine (lucky for me in the supp business

) has a family member that works at the hosptial with him in CA.

Bruce N. Ames, Ph.D.

They are both GREAT supps, and Anti Cancer is probably the biggest reason I use both together (R-ALA (glucorell) and ALCAR) for the most part.
