Hi All

I have cerebellar ataxia and am currently taking 500mg daily of Alcar (Acetyl-L-Carnitine). I was wondering about others thoughts on Alcar and daily dosages? Any thoughts are welcome. Stay positive make the most of your day and keep active!

Thanks

Hello, i have no experience on alcar, but it seems very interesting! I read it seems to be helpfull for ataxia patients... I think I will try this as well, among with everything else I use :)

I also take ALC and ALA for 'cellular vitality'. I take 650mg

JUVENON is similar and is good for cellular health

REsearch suggests AMINO ACIDS (free form essential, L GLUTAMINE and L ARGENINE) may prove beneficial for brain health.

Astazanthin is supposed to be beneficial for brain health but also general skin sensitivity and eye health.

Hi Cubsfan, your post reminded me that I bought Alcar a while back. I put it in the cupboard and ( with my goldfish brain) forgot about it , I have now started taking it again . Thank you for the reminder!
