What is ALA-ALC Pure Nutrition?
Pure Nutrition ALA-ALC contains a whopping 225 mg of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and 525 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) per capsule. These ingredients are key to mitochondrial function, blood glucose balance, and the oxidation ("burning") of fatty acids in the human body.
Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Alpha Lipoic Acid is an endogenous thiol derived from the medium chain fatty acid caprylic acid. It is an important biomolecule for aerobic respiration and has multiple roles throughout the body, particularly in antioxidant support and promoting insulin sensitivity. ALA helps the body remove sugar from the bloodstream and has an impressive ability to support the delivery of a wide variety of other nutrients, including creatine.
Similarly, L-carnitine is an essential molecule that transports long-chain fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes so they can be oxidized (“burned”) for energy.
Without enough carnitine, fatty acids cannot be used for energy and are more likely to be stored as body fat. Therefore, L-carnitine is vital for fat loss and supports fatty acid metabolism. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is a highly bioavailable form of L-carnitine that also has neuroprotective properties.
That's why Pure Nutrition ALA-ALC is here to combine the metabolic benefits of these trace elements.
Research and clinical data show that ALA and ALC may help with:
- Increasing cellular levels of glutathione, a primary endogenous antioxidant
- Reducing oxidative damage
- Improves the delivery and absorption of nutrients into muscle tissue
- Improving insulin sensitivity and fatty acid oxidation
- Maintaining energy levels for extended periods of time
- Promoting cardiovascular health
Recommended use:
- Take 1 capsule 1 to 2 times daily, preferably before meals or as directed by your doctor.
