Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC): The best natural source of ALC is red meat.

In a study by Tomassini et al, (9) acetyl-L-carnitine reduced fatigue in multiple patients compared with amantadine.

DM patients have been shown to be deficient in acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), which may be etiologic in development of DPN.

In HIV+ patients with this condition, blood levels of a natural substance called acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) tend to be lower.
