THE MOST POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT FOR SPORTS PEOPLE
The antioxidant capacity of ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) is also expressed by limiting the formation of atherosclerotic plaque by acting on LDL cholesterol It also acts by strongly inhibiting glycation, a phenomenon that creates a sort of “caramelization” of proteins resulting from the typical damage from glycemic fluctuations (glycated hemoglobin or HbA1c is nothing more than a glycation marker usually used as a signal of hyperglycemia constant and / or repeated over time). The protective antioxidant action also works in favor of the functionality of muscle cells, especially when they are subjected to intensive training stress. This action is combined with that of having an indirect regulation of blood sugar levels. At the same time, ALA plays a protective role on the liver and acts positively on energy processes, especially related to the Krebs cycle
Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Also known as thiotic acid, ALA is an antioxidant enzyme that stimulates glucose metabolism. While being one of the main organic antioxidants it also acts as a glycemic stabilizer. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a non-essential compound, as it is already synthesized by our body.
ALA acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes dedicated to the transformation of glucose, fats (and even proteins) into energy, namely ATP.
ALA is involved in the process of converting fatty acids and glucose into ATP.
Furthermore:
- It is an excellent antioxidant
- It prevents diabetes by optimizing blood glucose levels
- Increase Glutathione Levels
- It protects against degenerative processes of the retina and eyes in general
- Helps detoxify the liver
When to take ALA?
Essentially, an additional dosage of ALA can be used cyclically as an antioxidant coverage, for athletes the most suitable moments are in the phases of weight loss or in moments of great workloads, or in the most intense phases of a preparation. The aim is not only to regulate blood sugarbut to stress the organic system less and therefore recover better.
Why is theR-ALA
The spatial configuration of lipoic acid sees the presence of enantiomers (one specular to the other, a little like amino acids in L and D form). The difference is therefore given only by the direction of rotation which takes the name of S shape and R shape, the example to further understand the difference is attributable to the fingers of the right hand and the left hand. The left hand (receptor) glove is not suitable for the right hand and vice versa.
As in many cases only one of the two forms is able to perform a complete biological action on the appointed receptors, in the case of lipoic acid the most biologically active is R.
The biologically active form is the R, as well as natural, while the synthetic form includes a mix of both forms.
The Net Integratori research center therefore preferred the presence of the R-Lipoic form, which is certainly more effective even at doses practically halved compared to the mixed form.
TheR-ALA 150 product therefore becomes an extremely effective support for carrying out polyvalent action both on the control of metabolism and of recoveries; this is also because the R form is the one that has shown greater anti-inflammatory powers than the mixed forms.
Its shape makes it naturally endowed with a time release effect, so evenwith a single intake it is possible to have daily coverage. This is reinforced by the presence of DR Caps®; a product of plant origin that protects the active ingredients from acid attack and at the same time allows a time release.
This time-release action, combined with the very low gastric dispersion, ensures that even with apparently lower dosages, these molecules have an amplified and optimal effect as their bioavailability obtains a booster compared to other more “traditional” forms of capsules or tablets. .
