Could someone recommend the best form of acetyl l-cartinine supplement? I started taking Acetyl L-Cartinine HCl last night. It is a 400 mg capsule with 200 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid. I had a restless night with very weird dreams. I am going to try it again in case the side effects were a coincidence. If it happens again, I think I will try taking just Acetyl l-Cartinine alone. I read somewhere the Acetyl l-cartinine works best with ALA that's why I tried the combined capsule. There are so many brands and forms it makes me confused. Any help is appreciated.

I would take it in the morning and see if that helps.
If not then use separately, so you can lower the doses or adjust them. I find NOW brand to be of good quality and also Doctor's Best brand. I also use Puritan's Pride on occasion. I did not like ALA and don't use it now. It made me very irritable.

I take Jarrow's 250mg Acetyl L- Carnitine every morning. It is one of my most important supplements. I only take 1 because when I tried increasing to 2 it effected my sleep. I am not a great sleeper and many things cause me sleep problems. Jarrow is the only reputable brand I've found that makes that low a dose. When I began taking it I felt an energy boast and desire to get things done. I don't feel that same type of boost now but if I stop taking it I have a decrease in energy. That's how I know it's still working for me.

So I slept better last night and will continue with 400 mg Acetyl l-cartinine and 200 mg ALA (combined capsule) for now. Will see what happens, if anything.
Thanks! |

My doctor advised me to stop taking Acetyl l-Cartinine until we get a baseline. Apparently there are safety concerns that are not prevalently stated in the literature. Specifically, atherosclerosis later in life. I will have a blood test in a few weeks to get a baseline and take it from there. It makes sense to see if there is a deficiency before supplementing. Just thought I would pass this along.
