Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of acetyl-L-carnitine (Alcar) in treating mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease (AD) by analyzing multiple clinical trials that lasted at least three months.
  • The results showed that Alcar significantly improved cognitive functions and overall clinical impressions compared to placebo, with benefits evident as early as 3 months and increasing over time.
  • Alcar was well tolerated across the studies, indicating it is a safe treatment option that could potentially help in managing early cognitive decline.]
