Alpha Lipoic Acid ALA
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occuring compound and a radical scavenger that has been shown to enhance glucose transport. ALA is a chemical that is similar to a vitamin. It is an antioxidant. High levels of blood glucose are one cause of oxidative stress. ALA supplements are marketed as tablets or capsules. ALA may be beneficial because of its antioxidant activity, especially when taken with glucose or sugary foods.
This powerful metabolic antioxidant is unique in that it is both fat and water-soluble, can travel to any cell in the body and is therefore one of our most readily available oxidation destroyers. The 'universal' antioxidant as its commonly referred to, Alpha Lipoic Acid remains one of the most widely used and trusted free radical fighters to date. Naturally enhancing to the way our body uses B vitamins, ALA is also vital to the production of energy from the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats we take in each day.
I have found that I get good results by taking 300mg of ALA with my post workout drink that contains glucose after a workout. I take another 300mg each morning with my other daily supplements to help ensure a healthy level of free radical scavengers. Heavy weight training and stress increase free radicals. I want to make sure my body has the ammunition needed to fight these destructive free radicals.

1Fast400 Alpha Lipoic Acid 180 Capsules300 mg
THE IDEAL ANTIOXIDANT Alpha Lipoic Acid holds properties as a free radical protectant for our cells as it is the only antioxidant which is both fat and water-soluble. What this means is that Alpha Lipoic Acid is capable of easily being absorbed and transported across cell membranes, offering us protection from free radical damage both inside and outside the cell. In the multiple processes of metabolism, particularly the catabolic processes, various intermediate molecules called free radicals are generated, which are chemically active and which are capable of destroying or improperly bonding with cellular structures and components. Researchers nowadays tell us that free radical damage throughout the body is a major cause of aging, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. Free radicals have been shown to most commonly attack three types of molecules: Polyunsaturated fatty acids, DNA, and Proteins. The generation of free radicals is an aspect of basic metabolism and these chemical reactio

Dymatize Alpha Lipoic Acid 90 caps
Alpha Lipoic Acid ALA is a natural antioxidant. It is gradually becoming recognized for its unique abilities to help support excellent health. In addition to antioxidant properties, LA helps the body use glucose. An antioxidant is any chemical, natural or synthetic, that neutralizes toxins or free radicals, thus protecting our cells from damage. A free radical is an unstable molecule with at least one unpaired electron. It reacts by trying to steal an electron from a neighboring molecule, causing damage in the process. Cigarette smoke, fried foods, ozone, excessive sun exposure, car exhaust, and air pollution are common causes of free radicals.

Jarrow Formulations Alpha Lipoic Acid 100mg 180 tabs
Alpha Lipoic Acid, also called Thioctic Acid, is active in all the tissues of the body and in its cellular compartments. Alpha lipoic acid recycles both fat and water soluble antioxidant vitamins, improves sugar metabolism and energy production, promotes the incorporation of cysteine into glutathione and combines synergistically with other antioxidants for increased benefits. Thus it is known as the ideal or universal antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Alpha lipoic acid is a cofactor in the multienzyme complex that catalyzes the last stage of the process called glycolysis. Glycolysis is the first step in converting blood sugar glucose, which is obtained from carbohydrates and proteins, into energy in a form that the body can use. Although alpha lipoic acid is found in foods, such as liver and yeast, there are no foods rich enough in alpha-lipoic acid to serve as good sources.Ingredients:Alpha Lipoic Acid Thioctic Acid 100 mgSuggested Use:Take 1 to 6 tablets per day, preferably wit
