## Description

Transports Fatty Acids* Boosts Cellular Energy* Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a modified amino acid that supports cellular energy production by assisting in the transport of fat into the mitochondria where it is converted into ATP (cellular fuel).* ALC is a highly bioavailable form of carnitine that can cross the blood-brain barrier, where it helps to neutralize free radicals, supports mitochondrial function and helps to maintain normal neurotransmitter activity.* Clinical studies suggest that ALC helps to maintain optimal neurological health.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: 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!
Review: Well worth the purchase! - Extremely pleased with quality of product and effectiveness, as it assists me in light exercise so I'm so grateful for this supplement and it was well worth the purchase!
