NOW Supplements, Acetyl-L Carnitine 500 mg, Amino Acid, Brain And Nerve Cell Function*, 200 Veg Capsules

Do you have no energy, lack of clarity, depressed? TRY THIS!

I have Fibromyalgia with chronic fatigue. Most days I spend the day in bed. I read some articles on ALC and researched studies before I tried it. I always do this because I take several medications. Also, speak with your doctor. I'm not sure what your doctor is like but I asked one of mine about taking acetyl l-carnitine and she said herbs and vitamins are not overseen by the FDA so she really couldn't tell me anything about it. She did look it up on her laptop and we discussed it a bit. Anyway, back to the product. Due to the research I did, I started out with a dose of 3 capsules in the am and 2 in the afternoon. First day I had great energy, clarity and a good mood. Second day the same thing. But before it was time for me to take the 2nd dose, day 2, I noticed a rash on my lower legs. From past experience this is what happens when I'm allergic to something. I didn't take that 2nd dose. The next morning the rash was gone. I took 2 capsules. No energy, no clarity and no good mood. The next morning I cecided to go ahead and try taking just one dose of 3 for the day. Yea! Here comes the energy, clarity and good mood. I have continued to take 3 a day and have not broken out again. There are days still that I don't get out of bed but that's because I've been able to do things for 3 days before that! Haha! I don't know how to pace myself yet. I would highly recommend anyone who has a problem with fatigue to try ALC. I would highly recommend anyone with memory problems try ALC. I would also highly recommend someone who has Anxiety, depression or low moods to try it. Do your reading, ask your doctor and see what it will do for you. It changed my life

Energizing. 500mg per day with ALA

This gives me superpowers. I think every adult over 30 should take this. I used this plus ALA for mental clarity. It has really helped me perform better at work. I also have more energy. I agree with the reviewer above that it can give you Anxiety. I take 500mg per day instead of 1000-2000 as recommended on some websites

A great supplement with many benefits

Acetyl-L-Carnitine has a number of benefits that can help with existing problems as well as prevent future ones. I initially got it for my 94 year old mother who has dementia because it is an antioxidant that is beneficial for cognitive abilities and promotes the production of glutathione that is crucial to the brain. It also increased blood flow to the brain which can help people with dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Since then, I have started taking it myself because it can prvent oxidative stress, and helps the body to burn more fat which increases energy. It can take up to 6 months, but it is also noted to help reduce "stubborn belly fat", or visceral belly fat, when paired with Omega-3 fish oils. The development of visceral belly fat will lead to fat gain in the organs, including the liver, heart, or even in muscle. This can lead to a number of future problems. The NOW supplements are a trusted brand. So this is the one I have been using for my mother and I

Improoves Good Mood.

It gives me a very good mood, I don't know how exactly does it happen, but the simple fact that every time i am looking for my pills of Acetyl-L Carnitina; the first thing i see in my cabinet is a tequila bottle. So I have to give it 2 sips. So after finally taking my carnitine capsules, I find myself relieved from stress and problems
