SI33, Can you please post a link to the research that addresses ALCAR after concussion.

I found this one

http://altmedrev.com/thorne/index2.p...html&Itemid=70 It mentions footnote 51 so I will see if I can find that reference.

It only addresses use after ischemia and that is by IV infusion. Progesterone has similar neuro-protective effects.

Here is a much more recent article that addresses the issues with ALCAR and cerebral ischemia/neural injury.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3072740/

Read about half way down the page. "Cerebral Ischemia"

It reviews the vast literature and mentions a need for more thorough research.
