User Reviews for acetyl-l-carnitine

Helped with cognitive thinking and multi tasking gives great energy and helpsed with anxiety brilliant for work and when in need ( I take every morning)

After experiencing painful feet (heels) for over a year the pain progressively worsened. A month ago I started taking ACETYL-L-CARNITINE in conjunction with Ginger Root,Cayenne, Turmeric, and Vitamin C (several 1000mg per day) and am relatively pain free. Am no longer taking over the counter anti-inflammatory (nasaids).

Recently stopped taking it after taking 500 mg twice a day for the last 1 1/2 years. It was suggested by my urologist for the treatment of peyronies. Although I have not seen any improvement, the condition has not gotten any worse either. So, I cannot rule out that it may have benefited me by stopping the progression of the peyronies.

Dangerous mixture was sold this product by a chemist, after 4-days treatment my left arm went limp from top of the shoulder to my finger tips, try hanging onto your bike at 35kmph with one arm, inhospital for check up what was the cause of this and it came back to acetyl, I changed from l-carnitine to acetyl-carnitine. no side effects previously yet after four days on the acetyl product I nearly lost my life

The preparation I used was 500 mg and also had 150 mg Alpha-Lipoic Acid. 1 twice a day. I have an idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. Before, my feet felt like they were in an ice bucket, and most of the time I couldn't feel my socks in my shoes. Within a couple of weeks my feet feel warm, and I can feel my socks, and the tingling is less. I still get occasional stabbing pains. The symptoms return if I stop taking it. Occasionally I will take an extra tablet for break through symptoms.

Had a stroke 3-12. ALC helped recover my voice & brain function,

As a graduate student taking neuroscience I began taking A-L-C to enhance cognition but curiously, main effect I discovered was that when exercising, I might still get tired as before but I could continue to do so without feeling the desire to stop; odd to describe. This was apparent after only a few days. I never noted any untoward effects using 3g/day in three doses. Your mileage may vary.

After having taken 2g Acetyl-L-carnitine per day for 3 months for Peyronie's, a blood test stated that my cholesterol levels were extremely high, while they were perfectly fine prior to taking this.

Took 500 mg. daily. In first week noticed improved mental focus, morning fuzziness gone. In second week, recall improved and overall sense of connectedness better. I now, would not be without this supplement.

I take this supplement in conjunction with Alpha Lipoic Acid whenever I experience neuropathic numbness or pain...about 1 to 2 times a month for 2 days. I do not take it on a daily basis. Relief is fast and lasts.

Two months into taking this along with sublingual B-12 and I am back to my energetic and positive self. It's been a couple of years since I'he felt this good. Gave up on antidepressants 8 months the ago.

I had a brainstem stroke 3-12. I plateaued in my rehibilitation but acetyl-l-carnitine accelerated my recovery. Nerve cell repair is done faster.

I have atrial fibrillation, I have gone into afib after I have taken Acetyl l Carnitine, I am taking 400 mg, with 2oo mg of Alpha lipoic acid. I have never had a problem taking ALA so it must be the Acetyl. I am on Pradaxa and Metroprotol. Just wondering if anyone else has experianced heart related problems when taking this. It looks like a wonderful Supplement, for many reasons, but I am afraid to take it now.

insomnia......

Started taking it for nerve pain and saw moderate results within a week. Also noticed an increase in energy as well as weight loss.

drug was taken during chemotherapy and a while afterwards on dr. suggestion and I believe it to be a great help in my recovery.I really fell it helped with muscle retention and strength and helped me stay focused on what I needed to do and finish the course.I feel it helped to keep energy level up.I am five years out now and I do think I will began taking it again.
