Acetyl L-Carnitine is a form of L-carnitine, only acetylated. It is a very popular dietary supplement derived from amino acids, methionine and lysine. L-carnitine helps fatty acids to cross the membrane of the mitochondria and become available for usage. ALCAR, which is an alternate name for acetyl L-carnitine, is currently under research for possible treatment of Parkinson’s disease and cerebral ischemia. Neuroprotective benefits have been already attributed to ALCAR, but also assistance in cases of Peyronie’s disease, strokes and in treatment of depression. In food it is very much present in Beef and other red meats, in smaller quantities in mushrooms and carrots. Scientific studies have verified that regular supplements of L-carnitine improve the energy metabolism and can promote the neurotransmitter functions in brains of elderly people.

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) is a supplement which acts as anti-oxidising agents. They are mostly consumed in order to increase the functioning of brain and also to keep up the health of skin. DMAE greatly works in some advantageous process such as enhancing the ability of learning, mood and mainly to increase the memory power. They keep the skin healthier by stabilising the membranes of lysosomes that you find in human skin and also repairs those skin cells which are damaged. It resists the impact of the ages which damages the healthier skin by blocking the activity of lipofucsin. There are of course some side effects caused by these supplements as well and hence it must be consumed with the advice of some physicians.

Para-Aminobenzoic Acid is best known as an effective sunscreen as it blocks the ultraviolet rays from the sun. However it is also used to improve the protein used in the body and plays a role in red blood cell formation as well the manufacture of folic acids in the intestines. Some people have reported the reversal of gray hair and improvement of "age spots".

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the only antioxidant that is soluble in both fat and water, which means it can access all parts of the cell. This gives it the ability to trap free radicals. It is one of the few substances that can cross the blood/brain barrier to enter the brain and go directly where it is needed most. Alpha Lipoic Acid supplementation causes increased levels of glutathione, which assists the body in disposing of toxins. This is vital because glutathione protects the brain from free radical damage. Decreased glutathione levels in the brain are liked with brain disorders like stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. It also speeds up removal of glucose from the blood. Recent studies suggest that R-Alpha Lipoic Acid boosts antioxidant defenses in HIV-positive people.

Vitamin B6 is one of the most important vitamins that play an essential role in the development and keeping the immune system healthy. Vitamin B6 is water soluble that contains pyridoxal, pyridoxine, and pyridoxamine. It is needed by the body in various functions such as red blood cell metabolism and conversion of the amino acid tryptophan to the vitamin niacin. It is also important in ensuring the efficient function of the nervous and immune systems. It helps manufacture proteins and neurotransmitters, haemoglobin, and prostaglandins. It also helps balance the hormones. Vitamin B6 is known to help give relief to women suffering from menopausal symptoms, and premenstrual syndromes. It also helps reduce the incidence of breast cancer.

Vitamin C is an obvious essential nutrient and a deficiency of this will cause scurvy. It is also an antioxidant and acts as an electron donor for eight different enzymes.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and is an antioxidant. Vitamin E helps to gradually break down blood clots in the circulatory system and helps prevent more from forming. Involved in red blood cell formation.
