DIABETES

ALA & ANTI AGING
It has been demonstrated that free radical damage is one of the leading causes of the symptoms we know as aging. As we get older, the levels of free radicals in our bodies increase, causing a decrease in the efficiency of our cells. This leads to a lack of energy, lower immune system function among other issues.

The levels of ALA in our bodies decrease with age as the free radical activity increases. Supplementation with ALA can help reverse this process.

At the UC Berkley a study was conducted to verify that the free radical levels increased substantially as we age and if that condition could be reversed with supplementation of Alpha Lipoic Acid. After only two weeks of ALA supplementation they saw a significant decrease in the levels of free radicals and an increase in levels of glutathione similar to those in the young. ALA also wiped out the age associated increase in DNA damage to the heart, bringing levels back to those seen in young subjects. The change could be seen more dramatically in the old subjects appearance and in their activity.

ALA & LIVER PROTECTION
Alpha-Lipoic Acid has been used successfully for the maintenance of liver health and as a treatment for several toxin-related illnesses. Alpha-Lipoic acid has been used extensively in Europe for years as a non-toxic nutrient to treat various chemical overdoses such as mushroom poisoning, radiation poisoning and alcoholic hepatitis.

It has also been used to treat elevated liver enzymes. Elevated liver enzymes, which can indicate liver damage, can be a serious problem for people with life threatening diseases. For people who take oral medications such as antibiotics and/or anti-virals, balanced liver enzymes are essential for these drugs to get metabolized properly. Unfortunately, these same drugs can cause increased liver enzymes. Alpha-Lipoic acid may help protect the liver so that you can take certain drugs.

Another benefit of Alpha-Lipoic acid may be its ability to elevate the levels of glutathione (GSH). Low levels of glutathione may cause oxidative stress, and cause inflammation and damage organs. Glutathione latches on to toxins and makes them water-soluble enough to be flushed out through your kidneys. “The quickest way to rid the liver of toxins is to stimulate glutathione production,” says Savant Mehta, MD, director of the liver-transplant program at the University of Massachusetts.

ALA & CANCER
Free radical damage can promote the activity of a particular cell protein called NF kappa B. (NF-kB) NF-kB works to promote inflammation and genetic changes that have been linked with the development of cancer. Studies at the University of California at Berkley have found that when cells are bathed in ALA, NF-kB is inhibited thus preventing cell mutations from replicating. Researchers believe that this has significant implications in inhibiting the formation of cancerous tumors.

ALA & BODYBUILDING
Alpha Lipoic Acids aid bodybuilding by channeling more glucose to the muscle cells instead of fat cells, gaining more muscle mass without a concurrent gain in body fat Except immediately following your workout, the carbohydrates you eat cause an insulin spike. Using ALA, you can channel more of the glucose to the muscle cells instead of the fat cells gaining more lean muscle mass without a concurrent gain in body fat.

ALA enables the muscles to increase the amount of glucose that they absorb from the blood stream by increasing the number of glut-4 transporters on the outside of the myocites (muscle-cells) by almost 50%. By forcing the glucose and nutrients into both the MUSCLE-cells and the fat-cells, one can use ALA as a nutrient-partitioning agent.

The net result is an increased muscle-gain over the long run with a smaller fat-gain. To give you a quantitative idea, if a person gains 10lbs muscle and 10lbs fat in a bulking cycle w/o ALA. He/she is likely to gain around 14lbs muscle and 6 lbs fat if he/she would have taken ALA.

ALA & DIABETES
For well over 30 years physicians in Germany have been clinically treating Diabetics with ALA. Studies worldwide have shown ALA’s ability to normalize glucose uptake and utilization. In one study, ALA was even shown to prevent diabetes in 70% of the animals tested. In another study type II diabetics were given 500mg of ALA daily and in 10 days saw a 30% increase in insulin stimulated glucose disposal.(2)

Nerve damage or neuropathy affects over 50% of diabetics and is one of its most damaging complications. A study published in “Diabetes Care” has shown that supplementing with ALA can partly restore diabetic nerve function after only four months of high-dose oral treatment.(1)

Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant, and is widely used in prevention of various diseases. Its main function is to increase production of glutathione, which helps dissolve toxic substances in the liver. There is a long list of benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid, some have even gone as far to call it the "ideal antioxidant":

Alpha lipoic acid helps make vitamin C and E work better
ALA is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals
Alpha lipoic acid helps increase glutathione which helps with detoxification

It helps protect the lens and retina of your eyes from degeneration, and also helps alleviate glaucoma

Alpha lipoic acid is used to treat and detox the liver
