Only 10% improvement over placebo in cognition but not motor ability, plus baseline imbalances between test and placebo arms puts result in question.

very good for energy! I take the Vital Nutrients acetyl l-carnitine powder. I took 1 teaspoon/ day, in 1/2 tsp doses (so 1/2 tsp 2x/day) excellent energy & mental ability. I have since reduced to 1/2 tsp per day. (1/4 tsp, 2x/day) No particular reason. I take more or less depending on my daily (activity) demands.
