Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) is a well-known nerve, mood, memory, and fat-burning nutrient. In an animal experiment, ALC was found to actually regenerate nerve fibers1 and re-establish connections between nerves and 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 is a lengthy process and is often never accomplished. 

The study mentioned above showed that ALC works to regenerate myelin sheathing of nerves, produce new nerve fibers, and improve the function of important nerve connections to organs – a remarkable nutritional result!
