ALA is an antioxidant, like vitamins. Alpha-lipoic acid is produced in the human body, but it can also be found in broccoli, spinach, yeast, potatoes, carrots, beets and red meats. The human body is also capable of synthesizing small amounts; however, it is also recommended to take it as a supplement. Many believe that ALA is the ideal antioxidant because it dissolves in fat, as well as in water. To get the best antioxidant effect, a daily dose of 200-300 mg is needed.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) accelerates the body's metabolism, as it facilitates the oxidation of fatty acids. It is also one of the enzymes needed to convert glucose into ATP.
According to research results, Alpha-Lipoic Acid protects red blood cells from oxidation and against the harmful effects of UVA radiation after sunbathing, whileautres tests have also proven ALA's detoxifying effects, capable of removing cadmium, lead and mercury from your body, as well as extracting excess iron and copper from the blood.
Among the therapeutic areas, the treatment of diabetes must be highlighted, where ALA plays a role of premier. Diabetic neuropathies treated with the daily dose of 600 to 800 mg of ALA have had a very positive evolution. Formulations containing ALA have been used for 30 years for the treatment of neuropathies caused by diabetes. It improves circulation (minimizing the risk of paralyzed limbs), and reverses the damage caused by diabetes to the nerves, eyes and heart. It also helps treat glaucoma eye disease.
It increases the absorption of creatine into the muscles, as it is a creatine synergist; therefore, it is even recommended to take creatine supplements with ALA.
However, we do not recommend using it continuously for months on end. Instead, it should be considered as a treatment.
Like all BiotechUSA products, ALA consists of safe and carefully selected ingredients that are not harmful to health.
