Nature's Trove Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) 500 mg 200 Vegetarian Capsules

Carnitine is credited with several "powers," one of which is a general increase in energy levels. Have not noticed this at all, really. But it does a marvelous job of increasing mental energy. Not like caffiene, which of course is adrenaline-based, this is just your brain behaving like it's twenty years younger. Pretty sweet, since it's so reasonably priced. I started with one at a time three times a day, hardly noticed any effect. But when I take two at a time three times a day, I feel it. Good stuff.

I read an article that got me to try this product. It stated that depressed people have a low level of Acetyl L-Carnitine in their bodies. Another article stated that blood pressure medicine makes people depressed. Put these 2 things together and you may get that people on blood pressure medicine should be taking this stuff. I tried it and I believe it has helped my chronic depression. I can tell when it wears off. I opted for this brand because many of the others are mega-doses and too much may not be a good thing either. I am happy with the product and will probably buy it again when I get close to running out.

Did not work for me. Not sure any supplement works despite all their bravado.

I’ve been taking this for dementia prevention. I am aware there is no cure, and I don’t currently have a diagnosis of it. However my mother is suffering from it. Since finding this my memory has been MUCH better. I would recommend it for any who even has slight memory loss. It also improves sleep and dreams.

I take acetyl-l-carnitine for chronic fatigue syndrome and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). I don’t know if it does anything for the CFS, but I find that it does help me lose weight if I’m already exercising and eating well (ie by itself it doesn’t cause weight loss, but it does seem to allow it if I’m doing everything else right). (PCOS can make weight loss difficult.) This is the most affordable version I’ve found and it seems to work just as well as the others!

These Capsules are great and you can notice the change from the very first day. I do recommend to any person need to establish their memories.

I have low carnitine levels determined by a blood test, and was taking a different brand which seemed to work because my symptoms went away. I decided to try this brand since it was so much cheaper, and some of my symptoms have returned so I'm suspicious that these either do not contain the advertised amount or are just very poor quality. This is purely anecdotal obviously, and to be fair my symptoms could be unrelated.

The cost and quality of the product is excellent! I have MS and my doctor recommended this supplement to help with energy and feeling better. It’s working so far!
