Acetyl L-Carnitine Health Benefits
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a potent supplement for improving mental function – particularly in combination with a racetam. The primary mechanism of action appears to be by optimizing levels of acetylcholine, however it also appears to improve mood and motivation via its positive effects on the brain’s dopamine system. It is for this reason that ALCAR has been studied as a potential supplement for reducing some of the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s disease. Early studies have been quite promising.
