Top Medical Research Studies

Our research delved into the potential of a new zinc complex combined with acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) in addressing neuropathy, alongside its antidepressant effects. We found that this novel compound, Zn(ALC)Cl(HO), not only demonstrated significant antidepressant properties but also effective antinociceptive action, which means it helps reduce pain sensitivity.

Specifically, we observed that the Zn(ALC)Cl(HO) complex improved outcomes in models of diabetic neuropathy by preventing the drop in important protective molecules in cells. When we examined how this complex interacts with the nervous system, it was noted that it can cross the blood-brain barrier, offering neuroprotection against harmful conditions like excitotoxicity.

Additionally, the results indicated that under certain inflammatory conditions, the zinc complex counteracts toxic effects from activated astrocytes. These findings suggest that the combined properties of zinc and ALC may make this complex a promising candidate for treating both neuropathy and mood disorders, presenting an exciting avenue for future therapies.

Helps during treatment

While hospitalised due to chemotherapy complications, I inquired about alleviating the neuropathy caused by the treatment. Two doctors recommended this supplement to prevent the chemotherapy-induced neuropathy from worsening. While it hasn't completely resolved, it certainly helps.

I've just started taking these for neuropathy, and I've noticed an improvement after three weeks. However, the 1000 mg dosage is a bit hard to swallow.
