I'm not taking it, but ALCAR is now a legal OTC supplement in Canada. If you're in Ontario, just call a reputable health store/dispensary in a major urban centre and ask them to ship it to you.

Default Your concerns regarding blood brain barrier
Acetyl L Carnitine has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier as do other amino acids. It is also limited by the same the same biological restictions. It has been shown to extend, strenthen and create new nuerites with in the brain. It has been shown to create new connections between the wto hemispheres of the brain which would increase total brain functioning. It is quite a nice supplement.
