Acetyl-
L-Carnitine is an amino acid the body uses to turn fat into energy. This amino acid is sometimes referred to as natural Prozac, the emotional boost it gives is definitely noticeable. It can be taken with or without food and is very safe and well
tolerated.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine and the drug Tamoxifen were compared in a 3 month double blind study on 48 men with Peyronie's disease, in Torino, Italy. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (at a dose of 1g. daily) reduced penile curvature, while Tamoxifen did not. In addition the supplement reduced pain and slowed disease progression. The other benefit of Acetyl-L-Carnitine over Tamoxifen was a lack of side effects.

Treatment Doses: I took 1 capsule each, of Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine twice daily. I would take them when I first woke up and then I would make my coffee and shower before eating breakfast. I took them again just before going to bed at night, to keep the food in my stomach at a minimum, and
maximize the benefits of these enzymes and amino acids.
