Preclinical studies suggest that ALCAR may increase neuroplasticity (the ability of neurons to create new connections) and neurogenesis (the growth of new brain cells) in the hippocampus (where emotional memories are stored) and prefrontal cortex (higher level thinking and modulation of emotional reactions) (Wang and Pae 2017)

However, the interesting part of this study mentioned how as the animals aged there was no clear reduction in longevity despite the obesity that developed, but when these animals were placed on a low-fat diet, lifespan increased by 30%
This can happen from: Chronic stress Poor sleep Processed foods Blood sugar dysregulation Gut dysfunction Autoimmune conditions Environmental toxins Sedentary lifestyle Excess visceral fat Persistent infections Risk factors such as age, obesity, and poor diet are positively correlated with higher levels of inflammation
