ALA
ALA, or alpha-lipoic acid, is a substance used by active people and not only because of its broad health properties. It is used primarily as a unique antioxidant - it helps to flush out toxins from the body, protects against oxidizing agents and strengthens the action of other antioxidants, such as vitamin C or vitamin E.
ALA is produced by the human body by itself, but it is also recommended as a dietary supplement, in particular for athletes. Among the properties of alpha-lipoic acid we can distinguish: antioxidant activity, ability to inhibit the development of atherosclerotic lesions, support of the heart, improvement of the body's efficiency, regulation of blood sugar levels or facilitating the absorption of amino acids and creatine into muscle cells.
ALA is also chosen by people who want to lose excessive body fat. It shows the effect of increasing the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates in the blood, normalizes the amount of glucose, transforming it into the natural glycogen accumulated in the liver. These processes are conducive to weight loss processes.
ALA is mainly recommended for active people, especially for those experiencing martial arts. Dietary supplement can be used by all athletes to increase energy levels.
