Acetyl -l-carnitine is a molecule that occurs naturally in the brain, liver, and kidneys. It is involved in energy metabolism and may help to promote physical and mental energy.* It also has antioxidant activity and helps to promote brain function and mental acuity while protecting the brain from oxidative stress.* Acetyl-l-carnitine may also play a role in helping to regulate blood sugars and circulation.* In 2004, the journal Diabetes Care published an analysis of two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, involving a total of 1,257 people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy which evaluated the potential benefits of acetyl-l-carnitine. The results showed that use of acetyl-l-carnitine improved sensory perception and decreased pain levels, as well as appeared to promote nerve fiber regeneration.53
