Acetyl L Carnitine (anciennement Carni-Sorb)

- 500mg of Acetyl L-Carnitine per vegetable capsule to support patients suffering from cognitive impairment, nerve damage, chronic fatigue and poor sperm motility.
L-carnitine is an amino acid classically known for its role in transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. Acetyl L-carnitine (ALC) is the acetylated form of L-carnitine. It is the only form shown to cross the blood-brain barrier. This ability to enter the central nervous system and its ability to upregulate acetylcholine production provides unique benefits for the brain and cognitive function.
CLA has also demonstrated potent protective effects on the peripheral nervous system. Clinical trials using CLA in cases of nerve damage following antiretroviral medications have all yielded positive results. Improvements in pain, vibration perception, nerve function and nerve regeneration were observed.
Other clinical indications for CLA supplementation include poor sperm motility, male infertility, Peyronie's disease, cerebral ischemia, and insulin resistance. CLA studies have been shown to positively affect each of these conditions when properly completed.
The mechanisms underlying the benefits of CLA appear to be multifactorial. CLA has cholinergic action in the body and is imperative to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. CLA also stabilizes the cell membrane, increases nerve growth factor levels, and inhibits excitotoxicity in the nervous system.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine provides 500 mg of pure Acetyl-L-Carnitine per capsule to support energy production and mitochondrial function in a wide variety of clinical scenarios. By providing the acetylated form of L-Carnitine, Acetyl L-Carnitine provides delivery and protection to the central and peripheral nervous system.
