Brain Protector - Acetyl L-Carnitine

In the world of scientific research, there is much excitement surrounding Acetyl L-Carnitine and its abilities to help protect the brain.  Acetyl L-Carnitine is an amino acid that helps synthesize acetylcholine, the brain’s principal neurotransmitter responsible for learning and memory. Taking Acetyl L-Carnitine supplements supports the activity of brain cells that depend on acetylcholine.  Acetyl L-Carnitine also helps reduce the metabolic waste products that damage cells over time.  In addition, as we age, Acetyl L-Carnitine levels in our brain go down, so for optimal brain function, Acetyl L-Carnitine supplements become necessary.

There have been several animal and human studies demonstrating that Acetyl L-Carnitine prevents deterioration of the brain during stress, and it helps the aging brain function better.  Other studies also show that Acetyl L-Carnitine can help prevent damage that occurs to nerve cells when there is a lack of oxygen in the brain.

As an antioxidant, Acetyl L-Carnitine increases energy to the cells.  When a cell lacks energy, it dies, which is extremely distressing when it comes to brain cells.  Therefore, Acetyl L-Carnitine can help you keep more of those precious brain cells, particularly as you age.

If you are concerned about protecting your brain from the ravages of time, it is recommended that you discuss taking an Acetyl L-Carnitine supplement with your physician.
