ALA | Alpha Lipoic Acid 60 Caps

WHAT IS ALPHA LIPOIC ACID?

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a fatty acid with antioxidant properties, which is known for its similarities to vitamins. It can be produced naturally by our body and it's found inside cells. It can also be found in small quantities in some foods, such as brussels sprouts, tomatoes, potatoes and broccoli. It's responsible for the conversion of glucose into energy and for that reason it becomes fundamental for the conditioning of our body, that is, for the production of energy (ATP) that we need to actually perform any activity. That is why Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is used by athletes who want to keep their energy stable during the practice of their physical activity and reduce fatigue. In addition, ALA can contribute to muscle reconstruction and to prevent catabolism, benefiting the recovery of the muscles after an intensive training.

Alpha Lipoic Acid can also contribute to fat loss, as it contributes to a better use of glucose in the body, converting it into energy instead of storing it in the form of fat. Regular physical exercise is very important in order to reassure that all the energy produced is actually spent. Thus, to increase the effectiveness of ALA in fat loss, you should perform regular physical activities.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is important in 3 fundamental areas in our body: improving the function of insulin on glucose (transforming it into energy), increasing muscle energy and fighting free radicals (antioxidant action).

Its supplementation is particularly important, since its presence is actually small in food, often causing a deficit in the body.

We summarize the essential benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid:
- It is an excellent antioxidant
- Anti-aging properties
- Optimizes the use of glucose
- Increases insulin response
- Improves energy metabolism
- Increases muscle energy (ATP)
- Helps in fat loss
