I've seen Acetyl L-Carnitine mentioned a lot around here, but I recently saw this Acetyl L-Carnitine Arginate variation on Amazon and I was curious if this variation really is better for PN. The snippet below from one of the reviews sounds promising but I don't know how reliable this data is:

this version that is molecularly bound to arginate is a specialty for nerve growth factor (NGF). according to some claims and research (which i haven't really verified) "Acetyl-L-carnitine arginate is a patented form of carnitine that stimulates the growth of neurites in the brain. Studies show that acetyl-L-carnitine arginate stimulates the growth of new neurites by an astounding 19.5%, which is almost four times better than acetyl-L-carnitine." so this is why you might want to buy this version if you are targeting NGF not ROS (reactive oxygen species) which you can do cheaper w/ the regular version of ALCAR (or do both with some combination of the two).
