Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is typically used in sports nutrition for energy metabolism and acts as an antioxidant.
Overview
What is Alpha-Lipoic Acid? The benefits of Alpha-Lipoic Acid supplementation are well documented. Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that plays a significant role in energy metabolism. It plays a role in many bodily processes, but is primarily used in sports nutrition as a "glucose disposal agent." Glucose disposal agents (GDA) are ingredients that transport glucose out of the blood and into muscle tissue to be utilized for energy.
To dig a bit deeper behind its glucose disposal properties, ALA kick starts the AMPK system in skeletal muscle; this drives glucose into muscles to be burned as fuel and also helps to oxidize fatty acids. This mechanism can lower blood glucose acutely.
ALA has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity by reducing triglyceride levels/fatty acid synthesis.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid has also been shown to promote blood flow via endothelial relaxation; the expansion of blood vessels. This increase in diameter allows for a greater volume of blood to circulate the body. Because of this, numerous studies have suggested that ALA may help treat diabetic neuropathy.
Overall, there are many benefits of Alpha-Lipoic Acid supppementation. For more in depth information, read here ⬇️
