Acetyl L-Carnitine (500 grams)

L-carnitine is a trimethylated amino acid that plays essential roles in many areas of the body, including fatty acid translocation and muscle function. Carnitine is also acetylated into the ester Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) in the brain, liver, and kidney. ALCAR also plays a variety of roles in the body, including increasing acetylcholine production and stimulation of protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis. Orally administered L-carnitine and ALCAR have profound anti-aging and nutrient repartitioning properties, and the effects of supplementing with them have been extensively researched in many areas, including exercise performance, weight loss, treatment of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetic neuropathy, depression and many other neurological disorders, treatment of alcoholism, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance, and many others.

I try and buy all my supplements from NutraPlanet. If they don't carry it - I ask them to consider stocking it. You buy 200$ and you get it shipped free -- I always shoot for that. Their products always arrive promptly and on my last order they threw in a NutraPlanet Tshirt (nice Tshirt - thanks guys) If you only have cash for 5 things -- make this one of them. Its the foundation -- with NA-RALA for mental acuity and antioxident overdrive.
