Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is well known as a nerve, mood, memory, and fat burning nutrient.  In an animal experiment it has now been demonstrated that ALC can regenerate nerve fibers1 and re-establish the connection of nerves to organs.

Nerves are the most difficult tissue to heal because nerve cells do not split and divide.  Instead, new nerves must form or injured nerves must heal. This takes time and is often never accomplished. 

This study showed that ALC could regenerate myelin sheathing of nerves, produce new nerve fibers, and make the important nerve connections to organs function better.  This is an amazing result for a nutrient.
