Hi Pogo,
I did a quick search for Acetyl-L-carnitine and I found this study.
- Acetyl-L-carnitine in painful peripheral neuropathy: a systematic review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6498091/
Reviewing all data for acetyl-L-carnitine up to 2019, the researchers concluded "ALC is an effective and safe treatment in painful peripheral neuropathy, especially in diabetic patients. Future studies aiming to assess the duration of the therapeutic efficacy and the optimal dose in larger populations, possibly with longer follow-up periods, are required."

This article from Mayo Clinic explains in lay language:
- Diabetic neuropathy: Can dietary supplements help? https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetic-neuropathy/in-depth/diabetic-neuropathy-and-dietary-supplements/art-20095406

Thanks!
