Product Description Acetyl-L-Carnitine Supports Healthy Nerve Sensations in Hands and Feet Supports Cognitive Function Reduces Oxidative Stress Acetyl-L-Carnitine works by enhancing neurotransmitter regulation, which can support optimal nerve function. It supports brain function by enhancing the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetyl-L-carnitine is a chemical compound naturally produced in the kidneys and liver that is involved in nerve cell function and regeneration. When there are alterations in nerve function, such as in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or in individuals with high blood sugar, acetyl-L-carnitine can help minimize the discomfort. Acetyl-L-Carnitine Research Studies have demonstrated acetyl-L-carnitine’s effectiveness in supporting cognitive health and maintaining a positive mood in the elderly, possibly by partially inhibiting the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and lowering chronically elevated cortisol levels, which become elevated during stress. Acetyl-L-carnitine is better absorbed and crosses the blood-brain barrier more rapidly than L-carnitine. In addition to acetyl-L-carnitine’s support of brain and nerve health, it also promotes healthy sperm count and motility.
