User Reviews for acetyl-l-carnitine

Supplement seems to abate symptom of lack of interest in things I enjoy.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an absolute lifesaver for me. It improves my memory, anxiety, digestion, energy and overall cognitive ability. I cannot say enough good things about this supplement. Just drink a TON of water to avoid getting headaches

With this treatment, names and places I was forgetting frequently are now quickly recalled taking 500 mg per day

increase in palpitations and appearance of floaters in left eye

Ten years ago I started taking Acetyl L-Carnitine 400 mg with Alpha Lipoic Acid 200 mg, 2 tabs, 2X/day because I could feel my mind slowing down. Now I'm 70 and a recent brain scan shows I have advanced brain shrinkage, yet I'm still able to do everything I could those ten years ago. I still write short stories and have a full social life filled with friends and volunteer work. I'm sure that my life would be very different if I weren't taking this supplement. My mother and her sisters at 70 were needing considerable allowances made for them due to their cognition problems. I would recommend this regime to anyone who notices their brain needs help.

nothing changed

Certainly helped me think more clearly.

I am taking the combination Acetyll-Carnitine

My son has ADHD and epilepsy and this was mentioned in passing by his psychiatrist as a non-stimulant option for increasing focus and cognition. However, after less than a week of one capsule a day, it began triggering his seizures. Web MD warns about this but I didn't find this beforehand. Please take this warning seriously.

My parents both had Alzheimer Disease and after reading Dr. Pumitter's book regarding supplements for the neurotransmitters; I started taking Acetyl L Carnitine in 2007. I exercise four times a week and take 500 mg twice a day Acetyl L Carnitine. No side effects what so ever. I feel great!!

I took 500 mg. one evening - didn't sleep all night, nauseated the next day. Stopped and later started again at 125 mg. in the am. Still sleeplessness, an overall hyped feeling. Took it for 8 days, and could never get my dose up to the 1000 mg. they wanted. Just not the right drug for me. No pain relief at such a low dose. I also lost weight (didn't need to).

Improved my brain to voice connection after a 3-2012 stroke. I was able to talk without a 1 second delay when speaking.

I started this supplement because it was recommended by a friend to lessen the craving for a cigarette. Instead, it has helped with my vitiligo. My pigment has returned quite a bit on my hands. I've been using this supplement for almost a year and I have gained back about 40 percent of my pigment back.

near normal brain function and memory stability..3weeks after beginning use.

I am a 39 year old female with diagnosed ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder and several types of anxiety. I started taking a Brain/Memory formula by Vineco with this supplement in it.This has worked wonders for me!! I thought I would never be able to live without Adderall.... I am living proof that ADHD can be treated with vitamins and supplements.

I started taking this medication about two to three weeks ago for Lyme disease brain fog and fatigue. I definitely notice a difference in my cognitive abilities and energy level. This has help me regain my life back after.

I've noticed the dosing information for taking most supplements (with or without food) is missing. The importance of chronobiology or when to take supplements is very important to properly assimilate nutrients.
