Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) enhances brain energy metabolism, improving focus, clarity, and cognitive performance
Multiple cellular processes are considered to contribute to this functional decline and these are collectively referred to as the hallmarks of aging and these include processes like genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, disabled macroautophagy, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, altered intercellular communication, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis 1
(More information) There is some low-quality evidence to suggest that supplemental L-carnitine or ALCAR may be beneficial as adjuncts to standard medical therapy of depression, Alzheimer's disease, and hepatic encephalopathy
