Premium Powders Na-R-ALA (Sodium R-Alpha Lipoic Acid) 200mg Capsules 90ct. Na-R-ALA is the sodium salt of R-ALA. It has a higher solubility, improved stability, and higher bioavailability than just R-ALA. ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) is a mitochondrial fatty acid that is highly involved in energy metabolism. It is also a powerful antioxidant, which attacks and neutralizes free radicals; free radicals damage cells, organs, and tissues. By attacking these free radicals, ALA helps protect cells, organs, and tissues throughout the body. Neutralizing free radicals also helps to shorten recovery time from intense training. Other antioxidants will only work in water or fatty tissues, but ALA works in both. Therefore it can be used throughout the body, making it the powerhouse of all antioxidants. The body can synthesize ALA, or it can be consumed through meats or some fruits and veggies, but in very small quantities. Supplementation is the best way to truly obtain the antioxidant levels needed to combat the damage of free radicals.
ALA can mimic insulin, which may lead to increased uptake of glycogen by your muscles. This will help your body build muscle and increase muscle cell volume. Increased glycogen will also help your muscles pull in more creatine, carbs, and other helpful nutrients which increase muscle size, strength, and stamina.
Recent studies have shown ALA to increase muscle Creatine content, improve skin quality, and increase blood flow.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, “Preliminary studies suggest ALA may help treat glaucoma, but there is not enough evidence to say for sure.”
ALA can cross the blood-brain barrier and pass easily into the brain. It is thought to protect the brain and nerve tissue by preventing free radical damage.
