Alpha lipoic acid

Alpha-lipoic acid - also known as thioctic acid - is a biologically active agent from the group of conditional vitamins. It is an important cofactor of pyruvate dihydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes. It has antioxidant properties, potentiates the action of insulin. Dietary Sources: Large amounts of alpha lipoic are found in kidney (32 mg in 1 serving), heart (19 mg in 1 serving), liver (14 mg in 1 serving), spinach (5 mg in 1 serving), rice (11 mg per serving) and other foods. Alpha lipoic acid is conditionally essential for humans. The body is able to synthesize it only in quantities that can prevent its deficiency. Alpha Lipoic Acid has antioxidant properties, inhibits aging and increases tissue insulin intake. In theory, athletes and bodybuilders can benefit from the intake of alpha lipoic acid as a dietary supplement by reducing oxidative stress and regulating glucose metabolism. However, it can be stated with confidence that alpha-lipoic acid does not have a pronounced anabolic effect, that is, it does not contribute to muscle gain.
