Acetyl L-carnitine is a supplement commonly used for its potential cognitive and neurological benefits. Some indications for its use include:
Age-related cognitive decline: Acetyl L-carnitine has been studied for its potential to improve memory, attention, and other cognitive functions in older adults.
Depression: Some research suggests that acetyl L-carnitine may have antidepressant effects, possibly due to its ability to increase levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
Peripheral neuropathy: Acetyl L-carnitine may also be helpful for managing nerve pain and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, which can result from conditions like diabetes or chemotherapy.
