What is known

Each outcome with its grade (how strong the evidence is, A to D), the size of the effect where the entry records one, and how often studies agree.

Outcome	Grade	Effect size	Agreement
Alpha-Lipoic AcidAn antioxidant with genuine evidence for diabetic neuropathy symptoms and modest insulin-sensitivity effects.	Evidence grade B	Unclear	mixed
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)The brain-penetrant carnitine — real evidence for diabetic neuropathy, softer signals for mood and aging cognition.	Evidence grade B	Unclear	mixed
L-CarnitineA fat-transport shuttle that rarely aids fat loss in the well-fed — better evidence for recovery and specific clinical states.	Evidence grade C	Unclear	mixed
