It is claimed that ALCAR provides several benefits. Advocates of acetyl-L-carnitine market it as a life extension supplement. There may be some benefit in cases of end stage renal disease or peripheral arterial disease.[2] When supplemented alongside Lipoic acid, ALCAR appears to reverse some of the damage to mitochondria associated with aging.[3]
ALCAR supplementation has been shown to be neuroprotective in instances of cerebral ischemia,[4] peripheral nerve injury,[5] and to be beneficial in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in animals.[6]
ALCAR supplementation has also been shown to reverse syptoms associated with mental decline in the elderly.[7]
ALCAR is being researched in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
FOS is extracted from fruits and vegetables like bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, barley, wheat, jícama, and tomatoes, and leeks. The Jerusalem artichoke and its relative, yacón have been found to have the highest concentrations of FOS of cultured plants.
Blue Ox is an energy drink brand that was produced by the Blue Ox Company of Austria. It was introduced in 2002 to compete with Red Bull. The beverage was discontinued in 2005 due to poor sales and distribution.[citation needed] It came packaged in 8.4 fl oz (ml) and 16 fl oz (ml) cans.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) also sometimes called oligofructose or oligofructan, is a class of oligosaccharides used as an artificial or alternative sweetener. FOS use emerged in the 1980s in response to consumer demand for healthier and calorie-reduced foods. The term oligosaccharide refers to a short chain of sugar molecules (in the case of FOS, fructose molecules). Oligo means few, and saccharide means sugar.
