What is Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR)?Updated 2 years ago
An ingredient in Brain Bright, Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is an amino acid that helps enhance the brain’s energy supply and increase the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Studies have shown ALCAR to heighten alertness and decrease mental fatigue.
In a study performed by Dr. Michele Malaguarnera in subjects over 70 years old complaining of physical and mental fatigue, participants who supplemented with ALC demonstrated:
43% improvement in level of mental fatigue
15% improvement in MMSE scores (which measure a number of different mental abilities, including a person's memory, attention and language.)
