Let me first say I don't use the regular r-ala as its shown in studies to be very fragile or unstable and not be able to withstand changing tempertaure without degrading, so there is r-ala with potassium added to it to make it more stable. It does cost more, but its worth it IMO. Thats why its called k-r-ala (the k is for potassium).
Well I have been using it for about 2-3 months now and so far I like it. I have been also taking regular ALA on non-workout days for price reasons. I can tell a major difference in the two.
I take the k-r-ala on workout days about 15 minutes before my PWO drink. Well I have decided to bump it back to about 30 minutes prior to that drink and WOW, you really do witness or feel signs of HYPO with this product. I have never taken or used SLIN before, but I feel all the signs of hypo. They then have disappeared on my way home from teh gym in my car after drinking my Dex/MaltoDex/Pro Shake.
I take 400mg of K-r-ala on my PWO and PPWO meals.
On non training days I take 400mg of ALA in the A.M., midday, and P.M.
I can tell a HUGE difference bewteen the two different forms of ALA.
Some info on it:
R-ALA is the purest form of Alpha-Lipoic Acid available. R-ALA's health benefits are almost limitless, with glucose disposal, strong anti-oxidant properties, and anti-aging benefits being only but a few.
R-ALA is a potent insulin-mimicking agent. It speeds the removal of glucose (sugar) from the blood, which accounts for the profound benefits seen by diabetics. It also has growing reputation as a fat-loss supplement.
R-ALA is also crucial for energy production - it helps break down sugar for the production of ATP, the fuel used by cells to keep the body running. This activity helps to ensure that ingested carbohydrates will be used as fuel, and not stored as fat. Many people using R-ALA report higher energy levels for sustained periods of time.
R-Lipoic acid is the only form of lipoic acid that:
your body synthesizes and can safely metabolize.
is proven to significantly reduce inflammation, an underlying cause of aging.
is proven to significantly increase your cellular and mitochondrial antioxidant activity for preventing mitochondrial decay. This effectively attenuates the reported increase in oxidative stress with aging.
is proven to improve memory, reduce brain damage, reverse cognitive dysfunction, and protect the brain from neurodegeneration associated with aging.
is proven to significantly increase insulin sensitivity, enhance glucose transport, increase metabolic rate, and reduce the gain in body fat from aging.
is proven to protect body fats against oxidative damage, chelate harmful metals, and reverse stress damage in your heart.
is proven to significantly increase or maintain levels of other antioxidants, including Coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione.
is proven to expand total lifespan.
