Product Details
Why Supplement with BP Basics Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Supplementing with Alpha Lipoic Acid can lead to noticeable gains in both strength and muscularity. Taking ALA before and during a work out will increase performance and help shuttle nutrients faster to your muscles.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the most potent antioxidants available.

Alpha Lipoic Acid has also been shown to increase glucose uptake by mimicking insulin and shuttling it to Glut-4 receptors. Because ALA has increased the number of Glut-4 receptors on the outside of the muscle, more glucose can be absorbed. This increase of glucose does many positive things. These include:

-Increased pump -Less fat accumulation -Increased Amino Acid transport -Increased creatine levels -Increased insulin sensitivity -Increased Pump

The increased pump is due to the increase in glucose uptake. Not only does this feel great, but it also contributes to muscle growth. By increasing the muscle cells volume, more nutrients are able to be shuttled to the muscle resulting in increased muscle growth.

Less Fat Accumulation is also due to the increase in glucose uptake by muscles cells, meaning less glucose is stored as fat. ALA also lowers one's blood sugar levels, creating a more suitable atmosphere for fat burning.

Increased amino acid and creatine uptake reverts back to the increased pump. Because the muscle cells are in an enlarged state, more amino acids and creatine can reach them. It is recommended you still take a simple sugary carb after your workout (such as dextrose or waxy maize starch) but ALA can increase creatine uptake while you take a lower amount of sugar. This is very important for those who are cutting. They can get the same effects post workout without having to worry about storing excess carbs as fat.

Side Effects

Alpha Lipoic Acid has few if any side effects. Very high doses have been known to cause nausea and upsets stomachs, and excess doses can lead to low blood sugar levels. On the brighter side, ALA can sometimes lead to a general relaxing and mild feeling, and lead to a better overall feeling of well-being.
