Acetyl-L-Carnitine shows potential
We aimed to explore if acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) could alleviate tinnitus symptoms and whether improvements would reflect in audiological and MRI assessments.

In a case study involving a 41-year-old woman with hearing loss and tinnitus, we tracked changes before and after 30 days of ALCAR supplementation at 1,000 mg daily.

The results showed promising changes in both objective measures and her personal experience, suggesting ALCAR could be a beneficial treatment option for tinnitus.

Improved cognitive functions

The effect I noted was an improvement in memory and attention. My eyesight became brighter, hearing improved, and tinnitus decreased. This dietary supplement is also used for depression. I felt uplifted, though not consistently. At times, life felt vibrant and colourful, which was an unexpected bonus, affirming the efficacy of this supplement. However, L-carnitine took about 3-4 weeks to work.

Enhanced overall efficiency
L-carnitine is commonly known for boosting stamina and is believed to enhance brain activity, especially in the elderly. It is said to support cognitive functions and concentration. Although I didn't lose weight, I experienced increased energy levels and improved memory, attention, and even a reduction in tinnitus. Initially, it took 3-4 weeks to feel effects, but they lasted two weeks after stopping. This product has proven valuable, and I plan to use it continually.
