Scientific Insight

A highly-active agent
R-alpha-Lipoic Acid is one of the purest and the most effective form of Alpha-Lipoic Acid. R-alpha Lipoic Acid has several potential benefits for bodybuilders. It is shown to be a powerful antioxidant, since the acid is fat and water soluble and can enter all parts of the cell (1). This can give you benefits in terms of neutralizing free radicals that are produced in a big quantity during your workout and can lead to muscle cell damage.

Effects on muscles
Besides this protecting action, R-alpha-Lipoic Acid can lean to significant increase in the creatine uptake (2). Creatine is highly beneficial for your lean muscle mass and overall for workouts (3). R-alpha-Lipoic Acid mimic actions of insulin, positively influencing glucose utilization, that means it helps the body make use of the energy you feed it with (4). Worth to be mentioned that R-alpha-Lipoic Acid enhances amino acid transport too, which provides an extra growth for your muscles.*

Some animal studies provide evidence that R-alpha-Lipoic Acid recycles and enhances the effects of other antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C, may help improve memory and may help reduce blood cholesterol. Further studies on humans are needed to be conducted..

MVP Biotech® delivers you stabilized R-alpha-Lipoic Acid helping you to maintain age decreasing quantity of this product in your organism.  We have added other antioxidants, Vitamins C and B to enhance actions of the product. We provide you with Stabilized form R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, insure you are getting the most from this product.

I've noticed I'm considerably leaner and more muscular after taking R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™ for 4 weeks. Does R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™ burn fat?
This is commonly reported. R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™ 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.]

What is difference between Alpha-Lipoic Acid 600™ and R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™?
There are minor differences in terms of physiological functions. We recommend to try each of alpha-lipoic to choose the one that suits you.

What should my dosage be with R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™?
We recommend taking one (1) capsule 3 times daily, preferably with a meal.

Is R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™ safe?
Use R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™ only as directed. Do not use: If you have any medical conditions or are taking any medications please consult your physician prior to consumption. For additional info please see Warnings, Cautions and Contraindications.

Is Acetyl-L-Carnitine MEGA 750™ and R-alpha-LIPOIC ACID 200™ a good combination?
It’s a powerful combination that:

• 1. Could significantly improve metabolic function, but at the same time lower oxidative stress and free radical production, protecting your muscle from damage.
  
  2. Restored age-related enzyme dysfunction of a key mitochondria enzyme used in energy production, while lowering free radical damage and improving mitochondria function.

First studied in animal model (1,2,3), after patented for human use*, this combination appears to be a new world in bodybuilding community.
