Do you feel a decline in energy, mood and cognitive performance during these cold months? Looking for a quick solution? Well, staying supplemented during the winter can positively affect your brain and body functions.
One helpful supplement you can take is, L- Carnitine Acetyl. It is a form of L-Carnitine that plays a role in energy, metabolism, and brain function. Webmd reports It helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy. The Acetyl group allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than regular L- Carnitine, making it beneficial for cognitive function.
Another vitamin to counteract with L- Carnitine Acetyl is Methyl B-12. This is a form of vitamin B12, an essential vitamin our bodies need but cannot produce. Healthline informs that it can improve energy production, brain function, red blood cell formation, and nerve health.
These supplements complement each other by potentially enhancing energy levels, improving mental sharpness/ helping with adhd symptoms, aiding in seasonal depression and improving mood overall, faster muscle recovery, and helping to metabolize fat.
After taking both supplements for a couple months now, I’ve personally experienced less brain fog, an improvement in my mood, and a better workout performance. I’ve gotten better grades and I definitely feel more energized and happy throughout the school day and especially during my afternoon workouts. I would rate these supplements a 9/10 and recommend them to any students who are lacking in any of these aspects.
These supplements can be bought on Amazon, at CVS or Rite Aid.
