Natural levels of Acetyl-l-carnitine diminish as we age. Acetyl-l-carnitine is related to the amino acid L-Carnitine, which is a carrier of fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes, where energy is produced within each cell. Acetyl-L-Carnitine has become one of the premiere "anti-aging" compounds under scientific investigation, especially in relation to brain and nervous system deterioration. Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps to enhance cognition. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is involved in the metabolism of food into energy. Mild mental impairment in the elderly showed a significant improvement of several performances during and after Acetyl-l-carnitine treatments. [53,56].Reports indicate that Acetyl-l-carnitine may be effective in the treatment of dementia. It improves both spatial and temporal memory, and reduce the amount of oxidative damage to RNA in the brain's hippocampus, an area important in memory. [54,55,56]Treated Down syndrome patients showed statistically significant improvements of visual memory and attention both in absolute terms and in comparison with the other groups. [57].Most human studies examining Acetyl-L-Carnitine have utilized doses from 500 to 2500 mg daily in divided doses. Younger, healthy adults would probably want to take 500-1000 mg daily. While no serious side effects have been noted in animal or human studies, Acetyl-Carnitine may cause symptoms of over stimulation or headache in some sensitive individuals. However, these symptoms are not common and are usually caused by beginning with a high dose.Andrew Pacholyk LMT, MT-BC, CAPeacefulmind.comAlternative medicine and therapiesfor healing mind, body & spirit!********************************************* WWW.PEACEFULMIND.COM Sponsors Alternative Answers-HEALING NATURALLY- this is the premise of HOLISTIC HEALTH.
