Acetyl L-Carnitine 500 mg is a supplement by Douglas Labs that can help people maintain their brain and nerve functions as they age. Each dose of this substance contains 500 mg of raw acetyl L-carnitine, a metabolite substance that is commonly found in animal products. This supplement may be used to:
- Protect the brain from the effects of aging
- Improve memory capacity
- Maintain nervous system health
Acetyl L-carnitine is created naturally in the mitochondria of brain and nerve cells. As people age, these cells produce this substance less efficiently. This can cause neurotransmitters to function poorly. Acetyl L-Carnitine 500 mg can augment brain and nerve cells to ensure that neurotransmitters can effectively send signals to other parts of the body. Studies suggest that people who take this supplement may also experience increased energy levels. Acetyl L-Carnitine acts as an antioxidant, so this product by Douglas Labs can protect organs from free radicals and premature aging.
