Hi Ken: As far as I know, I have not read anyhting about the unwanted side effects of both Aetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) and alpha lipoic acid (ALA). i take both n an every day basis. ALC is neuroprotective, neuroregenerative, anti-inlflammatory and anti-cancer properties. ALA is a master anti-oxidant, plaaying acentral role in our physiology. You can find more info on these at www.findarticles.com. Good luck!
