| R-Alpha
Lipoic Acid
First discovered in 1950, scientists immediately knew that
it was a significant find. Labeled as an antioxidant in
1988, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) has been used for years to
treat disease, improve the health of skin, hair and nails,
protect the brain against cellular damage and actually boost
mental ability and vision!
Alpha Lipoic Acid is constructed from two enantiomers, r
(+) and s (-). Recent studies have shown that the r (+)
component by itself is far superior to the regular racemic
mixtures, which is what you find at the health food/vitamin
store. Not only is it faster acting and more easily absorbed,
but it also three to ten times more powerful and efficient
than its weaker roommate as a glucose disposal agent. Therefore,
on top of being the ultimate antioxidant, the r (+) has
the ability to take carbohydrates and burn them as energy
instead of storing them as fat. This means that after the
carbohydrates are ingested and converted to glucose, instead
of being stored and deposited as fat, they are shuttled
around your body and into your cells to be burned as energy.
There is a long list of benefits of r (+) Alpha Lipoic Acid,
some have even gone as far to call it the "universal
antioxidant". Below are some of the health benefits
of taking r (+) alpha lipoic acid...
» Helps make vitamin C and E work better
» A powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals
» Increases glutathione which helps with detoxification

Borage
Oil/GLA
GLA works in two ways to burn fat. In overweight people
there is an under active fat known as brown adipose tissue.
GLA activates this fat and in turn it burns calories. GLA
also activates the ATPase metabolic process, commonly referred
to as the "sodium pump". GLA can stimulate
this metabolic process to use up nearly 50% of the body's
total calories.
Recent studies have shown that obesity is linked to low
GLA levels and that by supplementing with GLA these levels
can be normalized and corrected. A study in the Journal
of Nutrition confirmed that dietary GLA can reduce body
fat by both increasing the metabolism of brown adipose tissue
and by affecting the enzymes involved in the metabolism
of fat and glucose. Not only will GLA help burn fat but
it will also help reduce appetite, much like 5-HTP does,
by elevating serotonin levels and making you feel full.
Dr. David Horrobin, a professor of medicine at the University
of Montreal, called GLA "a safe, non-drug way to stimulate
the body's metabolic activity and burn off fat." He
believe that nearly 1/3 of all overweight people are metabolically
impaired, interfering with the burning of excess calories.
A study conducted by Dr. M.A. Mir, a consultant and researcher
at the Welsh National School of Medicine in Cardiff, proved
just how effective GLA was for weight loss. In a 6-week
study his subjects lost from 9 to 11 pounds!

Conjugated
Linoleic Acid (CLA)
When first discovered, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) caused
quite a commotion in the field of science. Besides being a
more powerful anti-carcinogen than any other fatty acid, research
done on CLA showed that it was extremely effective at reducing
body fat, decreasing fat deposition - especially on the abs
- and enhancing muscle growth.
By improving insulin sensitivity, much like r(+) ALA, glucose
is transported past fat tissue and into your muscle cell membranes
where it is used as energy for your muscles. CLA also has
the ability to make your metabolism perform like it did when
you were a teenager. As we all know, after you graduate high
school you usually also graduate the phase of your life where
you can eat anything you want without repercussions.
Many scientists point the blame for America's current state
of obesity on a lack of CLA in the diet. Due to the feeding
practices of cattle, there is a deficiency of CLA in meat
and milk and on top of that Americans as a whole are consuming
less meat and milk than in years past.
Just some benefits of CLA?
» Increases metabolic
rate
» Decreases abdominal fat
»
Enhances muscle growth |
