Acetyl L carnitine and alpha lipoic acid are compounds naturally produced by our body, they work synergistically to protect us against aging by protecting mitochondria, the energy producing compartment in cells, from oxidation damages that occur during the aging process.

A combined dietary supplementation of acetyl L carnitine and alpha lipoic acid has proven anti aging effect on human. It improved cellular metabolism and energy production and
reversed the age-related loss of vitamin C and glutathione in a majority of elderly volunteers in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Most people also reported subjective perceptions of greater vitality, better memory, a reduction in fatigue and depression, and better general health and well-being in general.
