Lipoic Acid in Combination with Acetyl-L-Carnitine Activates Fat Cell Metabolism
Fancy experiments with high tech equipment are now becoming the norm. Such research is beginning to unravel the complex mystery of genes and related proteins involved in metabolism. Acetyl-L-Carnitine has long been known to help metabolize fat. Lipoic Acid has long been known to help metabolize carbohydrate. A new study with fat cells show that the two used together, better than either alone, work synergistically to increase the metabolic rate of fat cells.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, carbohydrate metabolism, fat cells, fat loss, fat metabolism, fitness, Lipoic Acid, metabolic rate, metabolism, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Lipoic Acid Reduces Hardening of Arteries, Boosts Weight Loss
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the hottest research nutrients, a powerful antioxidant that is also intimately involved in the metabolism of calories. Researchers from the Linus Pauling Institute and College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University have completed animal studies clearly showing that “lipoic acid can inhibit formation of arterial lesions, lower triglycerides, and reduce blood vessel inflammation and weight gain – all key issues for addressing cardiovascular disease.”Read More: cardiovascular disease, Lipoic Acid, lower triglycerides, prevent weight gain, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
ALC and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Reduce Brain Aging
A detailed mitochondrial analysis of rats fed Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has shown that these nutrients prevented the age-associated decline in the number of mitochondria in brain cells as well as typical damage that occurs to brain cells with aging.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, ALC, Lipoic Acid, mitochondria, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Nutrients Safely Boost Metabolism in Diabetic Rats
New concepts in the management of diabetes are taking center stage in our society because widespread dietary and lifestyle abuse has led to an epidemic of type II diabetes in children, teenagers, and young adults. The use of drugs to manipulate numbers and gene function within cells has thus far proven to be a miserable failure. Drugs do not restore health, and as a recent clinical trial proves the more aggressively they are used to treat diabetes the higher the risk for death.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Lipoic Acid, mitochondria, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Helps Nerve Pain
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid at the dose of 600 mg a day was able to reduce nerve pain from a herniated disc over a 60 day period, resulting in 71% of participants being able to lower pain medication.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, herneated disk, Lipoic Acid, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, Sciatic pain, Thioctic acid
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Boosts Lifespan
A new animal study shows that R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has a favorable affect on metabolism that maintains much of the anti-aging profile of animals on a calorie restriction diet.Read More: anti-aging, calorie restriction, Lipoic Acid, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Herbs and Spices Protect Against Blood Sugar Damage
Researchers found that common herbs and spices from the grocery store had potent antioxidant activity which they showed helped protect against the damage caused by elevated blood sugar.Read More: cinnamon, glycation, herbs, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, spices
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Lowers Triglycerides
Elevated triglycerides are a key cardiovascular risk and a sign of leptin resistance, as too many triglycerides in your blood block normal leptin entry into your brain (causing you to have excessive food cravings that tend to be out of control). A new study shows that R-alpha lipoic acid can significantly reduce the formation of triglycerides.Read More: cardiovascular risk, elevated triglycerides, leptin resistance, Lipoic Acid, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, Triglycerides
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine Protect Against Parkinson’s
Nerve cells have very high energy requirements to sustain healthy function. As a component in any problem of neurological malfunction and deterioration that is a corresponding decline in nerve cell energy production. A new study shows that a combination of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine were synergistically able to maintain nerve cell energy production, even in the face of experimentally induced Parkinson’s.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Lipoic Acid, Parkinson's, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Lipoic Acid Rejuvenates Aging Antioxidant Defenses in Brain and Heart
Acceleration of the aging process is invariably associated with increased free radical damage associated with inflammation and weakening antioxidant defense systems. A number of new studies show that R alpha lipoic acid can rejuvenate these faltering antioxidant defense systems, helping to protect your brain, your cardiovascular system, and even assisting individuals with poor thyroid function.Read More: aging, brain function, free radicals, heart, mitochondria, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
