We Like Vitamins Acetyl L-Carnitine 1000mg Capsules - 200 Easy to Swallow Veggie Capsules - Acetyl l Carnitine Supplement Helps Support Focus, Brain Function, and Energy

I first stumbled upon this brand by accident, thinking they were another company of acetyl-l-carnitine (ALCAR) suppliers I had purchased from previously. In any case this is a high quality product, and it's just what I was looking for-- even slightly better priced than the other supplier I had purchased from previously. I wanted to get as much ALCAR as I could in as few capsules as possible, with no other extra ingredients. I also wanted to make sure the product was genuine, so I opened up a few capsules and tasted the product myself and, sure enough, the characteristic citrus flavor of ALCAR came through. Not only that, but I can feel its effects. It's great for the brain and all sorts of other health benefits can be enjoyed from this supplement-- so I'm glad I found a supplier that is trustworthy at a very good price. It's great for vegetarians like myself who wouldn't get very much of this amino acid naturally from our diets. It's also great for weight lifters and people who are into nootropics.

I decided to try this as recent studies have shown something quite remarkable about how levels of this substance in our blood correlate with the incidence and severity of all types of depression. In mice studies, not only did they find that the severity of depression was directly related to the severity of deficiency of this nutrient, but that administering this nutrient resulted in a complete reversal of depression related behaviors. In humans, it has been shown that there is a direct correlation between the severity of deficiency and severity of depression, with the lowest levels being associated with depression unresponsive to medicine. I expect more studies to be forth coming.Like a lot of people, I find the holidays are a time when many people experience some level of depression. Living in the northern hemisphere doesn't help for many either, causing seasonal affective disorder (SAD). I'm no exception. But given there is such a strong correlation between deficiency of this nutrient and all forms of depression, I thought I would give it a try.Within a couple days I definitely noticed a difference. After several days I felt so much better I started forgetting to take it. A couple days of that and I found myself just feeling blah, unmotivated, despondent. I took a dose, and a couple hours later was feeling incredibly better.I recommend people look into the recent research and decide for themselves. I can say for me it's definitely helping.

This is a fantastic product!! I've waited a couple of weeks to place feedback so I could try this product.Well....let's just say that I will be reordering very shortly!!!I started off taking one pill in the morning and then another in the afternoon before exercising lightly but after about 4 days I went straight to taking 2 pills first thing in the morning and that is working perfectly.I feel so energetic and my mind is just so clear and switched on!!! My mood is great and I feel happy and cant believe how productive I now am!!Thankyou for making this product available for such a great price and like I said im definitely ordering more!I live in New Zealand and the shipping was pretty quick.Thankyou!!!!

I tried acetyl l-carnitine after reading that it enhanced the effects of r lipoic acid which I was already taking. R lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant, “‘the antioxidant’s antioxidant.’ This remarkable fatty acid is not only a potent antioxidant in its own right but serves as the linchpin in the body’s antioxidant network by regenerating the other major antioxidants. By far the most important of these...is glutathione (which cannot be taken as a supplement because it’s destroyed in the digestive tract). Glutathione is the mitochondria’s number one defender, and lipoic acid is glutathione’s number one regenerator.”The Linus Pauling Institute in Oregon cites “numerous studies on the use of lipoic acid as therapy for diseases associated with impaired energy utilization or increased oxidative stress, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. They emphasize that there is a significant age-related mitochondrial decay in heart cells and that either ALC or lipoic acid can ameliorate this decay independently. Because of the complementary nature of the effects of these two agents on mitochondria, however, some scientists—most notably Bruce Ames—recommend that they be taken together.” Quote from an article on a website called life-enhancement.com.I tried this brand of ALC after trying Doctors Best. I feel like this one is more effective as far as mood enhancement and short term memory. I’m 57 and more concerned with brain health these days.

The packaging is deceptive, it's only 500 mg per capsule. 1000 mg per "serving" which they define as two capsules.

Product is exactly as advertised. High quality, good value. Total dosage per capsule slightly misleading—product is not 200 1000mg capsules, but 200 500mg capsules which add together for a dose of 1000mg. Other than this detail about dose, very pleased with product.

Arrived as promised, well packaged product, easy to open & I mention this as it may seem trivial but-there is something about the label that makes it easy to hold onto. Can't figure out what, looks like an ordinary label but it doesn't slide around in my hand like some others..?? I do have problems with my grip at times so if you have same, check this out.

It’s pretty simple ladies and gentlemen. Get the product you need here (if you’re looking for Acetyl-L-Carnitine not to be confused with the less expensive L-Carnitine) at a better value than from other manufacturers. Skip the fancy bottles and all the reviews and go with the startup company trying to grow their business. I’m buying several supplements from them now and had zero regrets. Just appreciate the lightened hit to the wallet. I can always appreciate that. Take care.
