What is ALA?
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an enzyme found naturally in the
human body. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps cells convert glucose
to energy. It increases nutrient delivery, deactivates cell-damaging free
radicals and optimizes insulin activity, thereby regulating blood sugar
levels. It also helps the body use other antioxidants more efficiently.
Are there any side effects associated with R-ALA?
No, there aren't.
Research has shown supplementing with R-ALA to be relatively safe in
moderate consumption.
Why is ALLMAX R-ALA called R-ALA?
Is that
different from ALA? The R form, also known as racemic alpha lipoic acid
form of ALA is the active form. The body can efficiently use this form and
is able to absorb and metabolize this form. Many commercially available ALA
products on the market today consist almost entirely of the S (-) isomer of
alpha lipoic acid. These inferior products have significantly weaker
nutrient delivery and antioxidant properties.
Can I use ALLMAX R-ALA if
I'm taking prescription drugs?
R-ALA shouldn't interfere with your
prescription drugs, but it's always a good idea to consult with your doctor
first before starting any supplement if you are taking any medications or
prescription drugs. 5. How do I take ALLMAX R-ALA? As a dietary supplement,
take 1-2 capsules of R-ALA COMPLEX 2-3 times daily. Due to the nutrient
delivery properties of this product, it is recommended to take R-ALA
COMPLEX with meals, and/or supplements that require effective nutrient
delivery into muscle cells like Krush Loaded and Isoflex protein powder.
If ALA is naturally found in food, don't I get enough from the foods I eat?
You're right! ALA is found in food sources such as spinach, potatoes and
red meat. However, to derive the same benefits as supplementing with ALLMAX
R-ALA, you would need to consume an excessive amount of these food sources.
It's simply more convenient and cost effective to supplement with ALLMAX
R-ALA.
How does ALA help me at the gym?
By supplementing with ALLMAX
R-ALA during your workouts, you'll feel that much-desired muscle pump. ALA
helps to increase your muscle's uptake of glycogen, so you'll find your
workouts are intensified by supplementing with R-ALA. Not to mention, R-ALA
has been found to be effective in enhancing the efficiency of other
supplements you might be taking such as Krush Loaded or IsoFlex. R-ALA can
help facilitate the transfer of your supplements into the muscle cells.
Additionally, while exercising, you are putting your body through extreme
stress, which can lead to oxidative damage to the cells. R-ALA works to
neutralize unstable free radicals.
I've noticed some creatines on the
market already have ALA mixed in them, isn't this more effective?
Actually,
no. ALA can break down extremely quickly when it's exposed to light and new
packaging. By combining it with creatine formulas, it might break down and
will not be as efficient. By combining ALLMAX R-ALA with a creatine
supplement like Krush Loaded, you can experience R-ALA's true potential.
