Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALA) - a natural biologically active substance present in the body in various organs and tissues, including the central nervous system (CNS), is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and carbohydrates. Acetyl-L-carnitine is a biologically active form of L-carnitine, a key substance in the process of energy production in the body. ALA is synthesized in the brain tissue, liver and kidneys from L-carnitine.
ALA is an easily accessible substrate for triggering volatile metabolic processes in cells. Improves metabolism and energy supply of tissues.Due to the full energy supply of the body with less oxygen consumption by tissues, ALA protects brain tissue from oxygen starvation.
The results of experimental studies showed that ALA has the ability to improve learning processes, indices of non-associative memory, to have a positive effect on memory functions in the conditions of the experimental model of Alzheimer's disease without causing side effects of a sedative and miorelaxing nature.
Stimulates the synthesis of proteins and phospholipids to build cell membranes, improves cell repair processes. Has a protective effect in relation to the cells of the nervous system. ALA can accelerate the recovery of nerve cells in traumatic and endocrine damage to peripheral nerves.
The noticeable effect of ALA has on the slowing down of the aging of cells and the maintenance of their work at the level of a young organism.
