Benefits: Acetyl L-Carnitine has been proven to enhance the quality of life for people with OCD, neurological disorders (Alzheimer), cognitive problems and nerve damage, chemical imbalances, depression, helps positively affect sexual dysfunction, reverse signs of dementia and overall chemical function of the nervous system. Acetyl L-Carnitine will aid in weight loss due to balanced thyroid function, which certainly has an effect on your metabolism. Acetyl-L-carnitine is one of several forms of carnitine at work in your body. Carnitines carry certain fatty acids to mitochondria to be burned as fuel. They also carry away the waste products of this process. In a healthy body, the kidneys regulate the level of carnitine -- if you have too much, they get rid of what you don't need. If your diet is low in carnitine, the kidneys hang on to what you have. All carnitines are antioxidants, and because you can manufacture them yourself, they're classed as nonessential nutrients. Certain people do have carnitine deficiencies -- either genetic or induced by medication -- that stem from the inability to process certain dietary nutrients. Supplements can often help these patients. (You'll probably know if you are such a patient -- carnitine deficiency usually accompanies a more severe problem, such as kidney failure or cancer. The carnitines work in different but related ways. Some are more closely tied to cardiac health, some to metabolism and some to neurological health. Because some studies implicate mitochondrial decay as a cause of aging, some people speculate that using carnitine to maintain mitochondrial function could stave off symptoms of aging -- in particular, the frightening mental declines that accompany age-related illnesses such as Alzheimer's. The way acetyl-L-carnitine works with your mitochondria helps your body metabolize fat. That makes it an appealing prospect for weight loss as well as for mental function, since the nervous system relies on certain fats.
