Health Shop Product Information

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

Alpha Lipoic Acid has the ability to enhance glucose uptake is a very exciting effect that could enhance other nutrient distribution. By mimicking insulin, Alpha Lipoic Acid increases uptake of glucose into the muscle cell by 65%. This glucose transport stimulation is accomplished through Alpha Lipoic Acid's participation in the insulin signaling pathway. Alpha 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.

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