Alpha lipoic acid 200mg 20caps

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a unique nutrient shown to have a potent 
effect on glucose disposal. It is a natural antioxidant with 
free radical scavenging abilities as well as the ability to 
regenerate oxidized antioxidants. This actually makes other 
antioxidants more potent. 
ALA also increases the levels of 
intra-cellular glutathione. Glutathione has been shown to 
enhance recovery from heavy training by reducing intra-cellular 
damage. 

ALA's ability to enhance glucose uptake is a very 
exciting effect that could enhance other nutrient distribution. 
By mimicking insulin, ALA increases uptake of glucose into the 
muscle cell by 65%. This glucose transport stimulation is 
accomplished through Lipoic Acid's participation in the insulin 
signaling pathway. Lipoic Acid provokes an upward shift of the 
glucose-insulin dose-response curve. This is an important 
function that could enhance muscle cell nutrient uptake and 
protein turnover. 

ALA may also increase creatine's ability 
to enter the muscle cell further enhancing creatine's muscle 
building effects. 


Lipoic acid is both water and fat 
soluble, therefore it is a very effective antioxidant in the 
body. Also, it supports energy production, and may enhance 
insulin function and sensitivity.
