How long should someone take Acetyl L-Carnitine to see any effectiveness? I am taking 1,500mg per day for the past 2 weeks and really have not noticed anything

Not sure anyone can answer your question. Too many variables with each of us and if you are talking providing nerves the supplements that may help them heal then it may take more than one specific supplement. Here's some information for Acetyl L-Carnatine.

"The amino acid acetyl‐L‐carnitine (ALC) plays a role in the transfer of long‐chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β‐oxidation. ALC supplementation also induces neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects in the peripheral nervous system." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31201734/.

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of supplements known to help with neuropathy at the end of their list of Complementary and Alternative Treatments here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Complementary-and-Alternative-Treatments-Revised-2020-final.-1.pdf.
