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.*
It typically starts 3 to 6 months after treatment starts, but the good news is that it usually goes away on its own
Once you escalate beyond 2mg per week, the 5mg vial becomes impractical because you burn through it too quickly
