Item Package Quantity:2 NA-R-ALA is a potent and effective "universal" antioxidant. It quenches free radicals in virtually all tissues in the body. R-ALA also exhibits insulin-like effects allowing greater nutrient uptake into muscle tissue. NA-R-ALA increases your muscles uptake of glycogen. This increases muscle cell volume and contributes to that full pumped feeling when you workout. This is a very desirable effect as the increase in muscle glycogen also increases other important nutrient transport that contributes to cell volume and muscle growth. ALA Gets You Leaner - NA-R-ALA is not a thermogenic but it does appear to contribute to favorable body composition changes. This is believed to be due to a nutrient partitioning effect where nutrients are channeled more to lean tissue and away from fat tissue. NA-R-ALA will help enhance the efficiency of many different supplements. ALA Makes Other Supplements Better NA-R-ALA will also help enhance the efficiency of many different supplements. One, in particular, is Micronized Creatine. NA-R-ALA will help enhance the absorption of creatine into the muscle cell by providing a transport vehicle by it’s unique ability to mimic insulin. As we said in an earlier answer, you must use NA-R-ALA in a capsule form and not in a pre-mixed powder. NA-R-ALA is also one of the most potent antioxidants available. And, when taken with other antioxidants it actually enhances their antioxidant abilities. Capsule Not Powder NA-R-ALA is best used in a capsule form and not in a pre-mixed powder. NA-R-ALA is quite unstable when exposed to light and air. When dispersed in powder, excessive exposure leads to rapid degrading. Potent Antioxidant NA-R-ALA is also one of the most potent antioxidants available. Moreover, when taken with other antioxidants it actually enhances their antioxidant abilities. The new sodium based NA-R-ALA is also 20 times more bioavailable than R-ALA resulting in far greater peak blood levels of active, non-polymerized lipoid acid.

I love R-ALA
I have been taking this brand for a while whether through Amazon or Vitamin Shoppe. I found that per the dose that it is the most reasonably priced. I feel it helped keep my weight and blood glucose well managed. ( I take other things as well) I also feel it helped my nerves heal in my wrist post surgery faster and more complete then they would have. ( ALA is proven for nerve healing) One benefit that keeps me coming back oddly enough is I notice my wrinkles ( the few I have ) are definitely more hydrated and softer - if not gone while on this and when I go off they are visible. No idea on the wrinkles - purely anecdotal, but this is good stuff!

Great addition to the supplement stack
As someone who takes supplements for nootropic and fitness reasons, I can say this is one of my staples. Not only is it neuroprotective and helps cellular function, but it works synergistically with creatine helping me recover after my workouts. I noticed a slight drop in my energy level and focus when I ran out of my first bottle. Been taking it almost 6 months now.
