Re: L-Carnetine or Acetyl LCarnetine? Which to give?

[Guest guest]

We do both forms.  ALCAR is better for fats.  L-carnitine is better for carbs and building muscle tone. ALCAR crosses the brain barrier (because it's more used for fats) while L-carnitine does not. 

Both help mito functions. 

 

Hello,My son has poor muscle tone and gets very tired all the time.

What are the benefits of it "crossing the brain"?

Encourages mito activity in brain cells.  Fats metabolism in the brain = fats that are absorbed being used to make brain cells for brain development.

Very nasty taste is right. Even my little trooper had a hard time with powder

acetyl-l carnitine. Just taking a whiff of it feels like it is burning a hole

through your nose. So, we switched to the prescription version. The liquid is

clear. The bottle is red so it makes you think the liquid inside is red, too,

but it's not. The bottle says " Carnitor sf 1 gm/10ml solution, 118ml " .

Hmmmmm....I wonder how vitamin A from fish oil/ALCAR would work given routinely at the same time together....

Been doing that for a few weeks now and it's been going great (I'm going through a bit of a Vit B crisis right now, tho) but things were going really spiffy when I made it a point to give ALCAR with our EFAs (plus Vits A and D and astaxanthin).

Alberta,

I started my son on ubiquinol a few weeks ago and really want to add carniyine

as well. But currently I am dealing with stimming and hyperactivity and I have

heard that acetyl l carnitine can cause hyperactivity. I forgot if u already

mentioned whether u checked the carnitine and coq10 levels before starting supps

or not. I am trying to get my pediatrician to order the blood work recommended

at mitoaction.org and once the blood is drawn, I will add l or acetylcarnitine.

Let me know if u think one shouls stay away from carnitines if yeast/

hyperactivity or stimming is a major issue.

Thx

is
