R-ALA promotes the muscle’s uptake of glycogen and is an approved supplement for use in Canada. It does this by optimizing insulin activity and helps increase the amount of nutrients shuttled to your muscles pre and post-workout. R-ALA can help decrease recovery time and can be combined with creatine to create a powerful and anabolic compound.
ALA is also a very potent antioxidant. Anyone who trains regularly knows exercise can place a lot of wear and tear on your body. By supplementing on a regular basis with R-ALA you can protect your body from the oxidative damage associated with intense training.
R-ALA sports nutrition supplements are important for people who use creatine monohydrate. R Alpha Lipoic Acid helps with the absorption of creatine monohydrate when used with dextrose and vanadyl sulphate. For more information on this see our creatine information page.
A sports supplements value is based on the effectiveness of the product and something that does not do what it claims is worthless. R+ALA is a scientifically proven product and there are many ALA reviews that back this up. Keep in mind there are differences in ALA products. It is important to use a product that is made of R+ALA and not S- isomer. Most products, especially cheap ones, are comprised of the S- isomer. The S- isomer is inferior and is not associated with muscle recovery in bodybuilding and sports nutrition.
