Alpha lipoic acid

 

When you want to lose weight or take control of your health in cases of burn-out, food intolerance, adrenal fatigue, digestive disorders, pre-diabetic states including metabolic syndrome, among many other conditions, the best hygienic-dietary measure is to temporarily stop eating carbohydrates and provide the micronutrients your body needs to recover, especially at mitochondrial level.

 

Among its nutrients is the incredible alpha lipoic acid, which in doses of 200mg once to three times a day outside of a meal helps, along with vitamin B1, to promote glycolysis, helping to return glucose in the form of pyruvate to the mitochondria for ATP/energy production.

 

Alpha lipoic acid is the only one able to cross the blood-brain membrane and thus chelate metals in the central nervous system. It also chelates all heavy and toxic metals, making it an excellent anti-oxidant in the fight against oxidative stress. 

 

*Beware of people suffering from anemia, as it will also chelate iron!

 

Are there foods rich in alpha-lipoic acid?

There are very few: organ meats (especially liver), a few green vegetables such as broccoli and spinach, and yeast.

It is estimated that 200 to 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid provides up to 1000 times more alpha-lipoic acid than can be obtained from the diet.

When and how should I take Alpha Lipoic Acid 250 mg?

It's important to take it at mealtimes: other nutrients and micronutrients greatly reduce its bioavailability. Once ingested, it crosses the intestinal barrier, monopolizing two main transporters to reach the various tissues. It is also rapidly degraded, with a half-life of around 30 minutes.

Alpha-lipoic acid is highly sensitive to heat, humidity and light: it must be stored in a cool, dry place.
