IDS Acetyl L-carnitine
Product description:
Acetyl L-Carnitine from IDS enhances immune function, hormone levels, and even balances out your mood. Acetyl L-Carnitine is the much more efficiently absorbed form of l-carnitine, which is a natural amino acid commonly found in meats and dairy products. This amino acid plays an important role metabolizing fat to energy. Because of this factor, ALC is superb for replenishing post workout energy stores.
Another benefit of l-carnitine amino acids includes a production of energy in the brain. Acetyl L-Carnitine is used to boost mental and physical energy, especially in the elderly. Responders to l-carnitine report increased memory, concentration, and mood with prolonged use. Other benefits documented are the improvement of overall health due to its antioxidant properties, as well as the improvement of sperm motility and positive effects on fertility.
Studies have shown that Acetyl L-Carnitine may be significant in the treating of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, as well as depression in the elderly, HIV infection, diabetic neuropathies, and cognitive impairment caused from alcoholism. ALC plays a big role in the production of acetylcholine which is known to be a key player in neurotransmission for effective brain and nerve cell function.
