Role of aceytl l carnitine
Acetyl l-carnitine and carnitine play several important roles in the human body. These nutrients shuttle acetyl groups and fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. Without carnitine, fatty acids cannot easily enter into mitochondria. The acetyl group of acetyl l carnitine is used to form acetyl-CoA, the most important intermediary in the generation of energy from amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates. Therefore, acetyl l carnitine serves as an energy reservoir of acetyl groups and both acetyl l-carnitine and carnitine help improve energy production. The acetyl group of acetyl l carnitine is also used to make the important brain chemical acetylcholine. Some studies suggest that perhaps acetyl l carnitine can even act as a neurotransmitter itself.

Dosages above 500 or 600 mg may cause acetyl-L-carnitine side effects which include overstimulation and nausea. Higher doses of acetyl-l carnitine may cause insomnia.

Interactions with other mind enhancing pills
If you purchase other brain boosting supplements such as ginkgo biloba, DMAE, huperzine, galantamine, TMG, and others, we suggest not taking them the same day as ALCAR. Try each one separately for a few days or a week, and once you have a good understanding on how you feel with them, then you can consider taking them together, but at a lower dosage.

Acetyl-l-Carnitine supplement questions:
Q. Can acetyl-l-carnitine supplement be taken the same day as Mind Power Rx?
   A. Since they are both potent, it would be best not to combine them. But, you could alternate their use. One day you could take Mind Power Rx and another day take acetyl-l carnitine.

Q. I an confused. Some websites say acetyl l carnitine supplement should be taken every day, while others say an acetyl l carnitine supplement does not have to be taken every day.
   A. We feel that it is best to take days off from the use of many supplements. In the case of acetly-l carnitine, one could instead alternate other supplements such as dmae, choline, bacopa, ginkgo, etc, or a combination of small amounts found in a formula such as Mind Power Rx.

Q. What are acetly-l carnitine side effects?
   A. Acetyl-l carnitine side effects include nausea, restlessness, insomnia, and irritability. We suggest keeping the acetyl l-carnitine dosage to less than 500 mg a few times a week.

Q. Can you tell me about acetly-l carnitine arginate?
   A. We are not familiar with acetly l carnitine arginate research and therefore, at this time, we feel there is much more research on acetyl-l-carnitine and we prefer using this form of the nutrient.

Q. Can acetyl-l-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid be taken together?
   A. Since they can both cause alertness, it would be best to reduce the dosage of each in order to avoid insomnia. Some websites are promoting acetyl-lcarnitine alpha lipoic acid combinations in too high a dosage. This could lead to insomnia and negate the antiaging benefit that the websites claim occurs when acetyl-l-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid are combined.

Q. Is it okay to take an acetyl l-carnitine supplement in the evening?
   A. Since acetyl l-carnitine can cause alertness, taking a capsule in the evening could cause insomnia.

Q. Which is better for mental enhancement or as a brain booster, Acetyl-l carnitine or DMAE?
   A. Each brain nutrient has its own role to play, some people may prefer acetyl-l carnitine while others prefer DMAE or ginkgo or another supplement. Many people like a combination of nutrients and herbs such as found in Mind Power Rx.

Q. I find myslef very sensitive to supplements. The Physician Formulas acetyl-l-carnitine has 300 mg. Is it possible to take a portion of this?
   A. Yes, you could open the acetyl-l-carnitine capsule by pulling on each side and take a third or half.

Q. Is a benefit of acetyl-l carnitine enhanced mental energy?
   A. The use of acetly-l carnitine can lead to enhanced mental energy and focus.

Q. How quickly does a person notice mental alertness after taking an n acetyl-l carnitine supplement?
   A. Most people begin to notice the effect from an acetyl l carnitine supplement after an hour or two, and the effects can last a few hours or all day depending on the acetyl-l carnitine dosage taken. If the acetyl-l-carnitine supplement is taken with food, this may slow the absorption and the mental alertness may taken longer to be noticed. 

Q. Is it okay to take acetyl-l carnitine daily for months and years? I buy acetyl-l-carnitine at the 250 mg dose.
   A. Scintists have not done enough long term human studies regarding the consequences of chronic acetyl-l carnitine intake. As with most supplements, the fequency of use without breaks depends on the dosage. If a small amount is used, then the supplement can be taken for prolonged periods without a break. As a general rule, it is a good idea to take a day or two off each week, and a full week off every month or two. 

Q. I have a seizure disorder and I take 2 anti-seizure medications. Is it okay to take acetyl l-carnitine supplements?
   A. We have not seen any human studies regarding the influence of acetyl l-carnitine and seizures. To be on the safe side, we suggest not taking acetyl l-carnitine supplements if you have a seizure disorder or taking anti-seizure drugs.
