- Burn Carbohydrates with Antioxidants: Alpha Lipoic Acid- Thomas DeLauer:
Did you know that the body is capable of producing its own antioxidants? One powerful antioxidant produced by the body is alpha lipoic acid.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is found in every cell of the human body. Both water soluble and fat soluble, so able to act throughout the body. Antioxidants attack free radicals, which are waste products that occur when the body creates energy through the food we eat. Free radicals can also come from exposure to toxins and pollutants. Negative effects of free radicals include: slows metabolism, abnormal cell growth and proliferation, impaired neuron signaling. Free radicals lead to cellular damage, including damage to organs. Make the body more susceptible to infections. Cancer, heart disease and diabetes are partially caused by this kind of cellular damage. How else can ALA help our health?
ALA for Fat Loss and Building Muscle: Multiple studies have found ALA reduces weight gain in rodents and in humans. One study followed obese diabetic patients for 20 weeks with either 600 mg supplementation of ALA per day or a placebo and found significant effect on body mass index and triglyceride levels, decreasing BMI and triglyceride levels, in the subjects with oral ALA supplementation. Protection against insulin resistance has been shown. Insulin resistance leads to decreased glucose uptake in fat and muscle cells.
ALA helps to turn glucose into energy, or fuel, for your body through insulin signaling: When insulin binds to the insulin receptor a cascade of events is started, leading to increased cellular glucose uptake. ALA has been shown to activate this cascade of events, leading to increased glucose uptake in fat and muscle cells. This is done not through an effect on insulin levels, but by triggering the same sequence of events, leading to glucose transport for energy creation. ALA sort of mimics insulin!
Studies have shown that this shuttling allows more glucose to enter skeletal muscle cells, thus more glucose burned as for energy → more energy to tear and rebuild muscles and less shuttled to be stored as fat. When more glucose is delivered to muscle cells, there is less available to be stored as fat in far calls. So you have more fuel to push muscle growth and less glucose stored in fat cells = muscle growth and less fat accumulation.
Other Possible Uses of ALA: ALA is approved in Germany as a treatment for diabetes and for symptoms of diabetes due to its effect on glucose.
Cancer
Memory Loss
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
HIV/AIDS
Heart Disease
Eye related disorders
How to add Alpha Lipoic Acid to Your Diet: Foods high in ALA: broccoli, spinach, potatoes, red meat, organ meats - liver. You can also take supplements. The bioavailability of supplemental ALA has been shown to be much greater than that of dietary ALA. You can take about 50 mg for antioxidant purposes; up to 800 mg per day for diabetic purposes, as directed by a doctor. 350 mg to 600 mg daily is a common dose. This is often recommended to be taken on an empty stomach.

I can only speak for myself, but A.L.A. saved me from a very serious operation. I have taken alpha-lipoic acid for 4months no more severe lower back and hip pain. Even my nerve pain in my leg and foot has gotten better. I was supposed to have surgery beginning of August, I don't see any reason why I should have it I feel 80% better than I have in years. I have been taking vitamins half my life I never seen any kind of change in my body from the supplements. But with this alpha-lipoic acid it's a game changer. ♡""😊""♡

God doesn't want to hear you talk and no action behind it. Show him what a good person you are and don't look for a reward or being put on a pedestal. When it's time to leave your body you will receive your reward.
By the way I was speaking of alpha lipoic acid not about my Heavenly Father
I need no preaching only teaching. 🌞
Bless have a great week 🕊
@@gloriald444 God Healed you have a Blessed life
All I know is I’ve taken it for almost a week and my nerve pain is almost gone. But then I noticed my appetite is much less!
Please which brand do you take and how much? Saw your comment from dr mandell?
I am starting it for TN. What dose do you take?
@@silverfullbuster9177 Sorry I know this question isn’t meant for me, but as someone who suffers from nerve pain, I felt I can butt into your conversation. I have tried different brands of ALA, and ended up with High Dose R-Alpha Lipoic Acid from AOR. But that’s just me, maybe other brands, or just ALA could work for you.
I take it for neuropathy as well
@@vinniej9188 a dr. says there's different versions of this produced and two versions can contradict the other version which neutralizes it and it's money wasted. She recommended the R version as the most effective. Your comments seem to confirm her video.
Thank you for speaking of the fact that cooking the food changes the amount of in the food.
Very helpful, as ever.
I take this for nerve pain, after lightning type strikes anywhere on my body which left me with restless legs on the site of the most strikes. This worked for me and I wouldn’t be without it.
In my BB days, I used to find that ALA with Chromium Picolinate made my pumps so big and quick, that I had more intense workouts over a shorter time. I left the gym feeling alert, but battered. My gains were awesome. I also looked super huge leaving that gym, so I used to make sure I did my workouts early morning to take advantage of it. ALA for BB is an absolute win!
Did you ever use vanadyl sulfate as well. I could tell the same thing from it with a higher than normal dose.
@@philiphenderson7502 never tried that. Does it give any other benefits? What about price compared to ALA?
Thank you so very much I think you’re wonderful.
ALA has helped me so much with nerve pain and energy
So informative so helpful and you can tell you really care.😁👍
wow... very informative and explained so well.. i needed this information
TDL, thank you so much for the ALA info but mostly thanks for caring! The world is a better place because you care
he cares about making money thats why he makes so many videos you watch CHA CHING CASH in his pocket
Do you still recommend this supplement? Any updates on research or how it is working in you?
Thanks in advance. You have been a major motivator in my fat loss.
Whether Thos. DLauer gives us the WHOLE PICTURE, because the Net offers many perspectives, I am glad I checked the video out today. My headaches stopped after suffering a head injuries WHEN I STOPPED TAKING ALA. I got it from a 'special lab' thinking I would have AN EDGE. But couldn't afford the price after a couple of years. Who knew? The reviewers below gave me this info. Many thanks, for all of your input.
@Thomas DeLauer How about a video on your thoughts and some science over 5-htp, serotonin, and mood for people who have issues with depression and motivation
My dr recommended it after my biopsy came back positive for small nerve neuropathy. Previous to being tested long list of issues including failed back surgery and revision lumbar spine. Cervical and thoracic no surgeries but countless injections injection. After 3 days taking it the nerve pain in my feet almost completely gone along with reduction of pain in other joints that are arthritic and previous surgeries
You are fantastic, Thomas! Love your videos!
Really helpful! I'm going to give it a try :)
Great video 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you... thank you.... thank you!!!
R Lipoic acid is better
R-Lipoic Acid (the R (+) enantiomer) is the form of lipoic acid that occurs naturally in plants, animals and the human body and is responsible for the specific beneficial effects of Alpha-Lipoic acid. R-lipoic acid (RLA) is the *only* form that functions as a co-factor for mitochondrial enzymes involved in energy production.
That’s why it’s so important to know your Lipoic Acids.
Thank you.
@@felixthekate4800
great vidio!!!👌👍😊 Tomas, but where can I get that supplement you are talking about? I, never heard of it before.
ALA is a phenomenal supplement. Great antioxidant for the body.
Thanks to your Video, I have started taking GNC L-carnitine with Alpha lipoic acid, i haven't lost any weight but i can see my body is taking shape and some clothes are getting loose. I work out 5 times a week and clean eating, I love the products, i feel good and energized every day.
Hi. Any update 4 years later?
I'm interested as well.
🤭 I stopped..not taking any supplements now, healthy nutrition and weight training.
@@zolekankuna6209 glad to hear it
Great wisdom from a chemist
Thomas You are the best looking Nerd I have ever come across.
Steve Q Urkel of family matters is a better Nerd if you ask me! LOL
Por favor, pueden poner estos VIDEOS EN ESPAÑOL!! Thank you!!!
How do you know which supplements you should be taking?
Great Information. very timely
Great and helpful..
I love ALA......where have you been my whole life.
What time of the day should you take it before working out for you go to bed first thing in the morning???
I’m using it for chronic primary progressive MS. Has stopped the neuropathy
I've started few days ago with ALA. How long time took to stop neuropathy?
@@quantumuniverse5771 I was new to MS and I started taking a lot of things all at once. I think maybe a couple of days into it. I started out with 600 mg twice a day but I’m finding relief at once a day. And now if I stop for a couple of days and the pain comes back one day on it fixes the problem
MS is notoriously difficult to deal with. It can go away all by itself or it can just grind on you. All you can do is try. I found out about it and pub med where all the doctors go for information.
Thank you
Amazing result of ala
I' d be careful with ALA, as it is known to detoxify the body. If too much toxins are dissolved from save storage places in the body, e.g. from the fat under the skin, they can be reabsorbed and cause damage again.
There is the Andrew Cutler Protocol, that says how to detoxify the body. Never take larger amounts of Alpha lipoic acid, but tiny dosages every three hours for three days a week, then pause for four days. This is done for several months up to a year. It has to be sure, the body can get rid of the toxins, so metabolism has to work properly and bowel movements have to be regular. Never detoxify when constipated.
I take magnesium to make sure
thats why you use more than one supplement at once
Not true !
Thes part about uriine smelling as a way to guage dosage should prove most helpful.
If theres more in the urine then you arent absorbing as much so you should.. Take less?
Been taking it for over a year. Started taking it for nerve pain in legs after failed major surgery. The improvement has been small, not sure how much is due to time or Alpha.
If intermittent fasting, is there any time I should or should not be taking it? Can I take it during the fasting phase or should I take it when I break my fast. Does it matter?
Sodium R-lipoate is a more bio-available form of ALA.
Great info thank u
Great video brother
Do a video showing a typical day you go through. Like "A day in the life of "
Good idea! Does Thomas respond to comments? Haven't seen any replies. Would be nice to know if he actually saw your suggestion and would make such a video. :)
Other veggies you'd recommend in addition to broccoli? Going for a diet high in raw veg so should preserve the acids
Brussels spouts but mainly need to take as a supplement
Hi Thomas, I started using alpha lipoic acid after watching your video and read Dr. Berkson’s book. My question is I read it is a chelator, do I need to take multi minerals with ALA?
Thanks
Yo video idea Mr. Delaurea You said to take l-caritine With Alpha lipoic acid. What's the synergistic affects from it. That'd be a good video.
how about R-Lipoic acid? is it true that it drives glucose from carbs into muscle?
Curious what might cause it not be absorbed fully?
Hi Thomas, Can I have 600mg in pill form it at the end of my IF window? I bought it following your recommendations and I've been trying to find information on when is best to take it. All my research led me to find it's best to take it on an empty stomach, but as I eat from 6pm to 10pm I dont know if it's best to take it 2 hours before eating. Also concerned about the effects on sleep so afraid to take it to late in the evening. Hope you can read this and give me some advice. Thanks much and been following you for 2 years now!
Do you have a protocol for its use ?
Hi Thomas. Is it okay if I take ALA with Beta-Alanine/Carnosine together?
I started ALA 3 months ago and waiting for my biceps to grow like those of Thomas 😜
Hahaha you funny 😆
You'll need to take testosterone suspension for that to happen:)P
@@toddlesiak3837 I'm afraid so

When should I take the supplements? I mean at what time of day?
Wow, Thx.
In my situation I had a like the flu symptoms I had fevers sweating and chills every time I went to sleep and my right leg to shin bone has neuropathy and painful and lymphedema in the calf area and the nerve was hurting all the way up to my groin my crotch but I took this and it seemed to help cure it I really stuck to an extreme diet too I got rid of all peanuts corn chips potato chips potatoes it seemed like a greatly helped I still have a little bit of neuropathy on the shin bone area between the knee and the ankle
I really wish you would answer some questions once in a while.
@jonathan williams Stevia is a GI irritant to many people. Actually maple syrup is better for you than honey in some ways. I'll never take stevia again.

What is the difference between CLA and ALA ?
Does someone have made expierence with R-Alpha-Lipoic-Acid? It is said that normal Alpha Lipoic Acid is S-ALA or a mixture of S and R ALA and not stable. The only bioactive form is R-Alpha-Lipoic-Acid. It is also more expensivve. Can someone confirm?
Hey man thanks for the video. What’s your thoughts on R-ALA
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Check the back of the label and make sure it's the R only, if it doesn't tell you which type it is then you should not be taking it avoid the S and the RS type.
Can it give you indigestion?
Does it chelate good metals like copper?
you should do a study about myostatin inhibitor or follistatin
Ty
Is there any fiber supplements you can take if you are allergic to shellfish. ALC is great
Dose ala help to improve kidney function?
Years ago i took it and if I took too much it caused stomach pains
When do we take it!????????
Can we take it with a ketogenic diet I tried lose some weight
Now 4 yrs. after original post, has you understanding of ALA changed? For that matter do your recommendations stay the same? Thank you for your time.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Check the back of the label and make sure it's the R only, if it doesn't tell you which type it is then you should not be taking it avoid the S and the RS type.
Thomas could you do more live streams here on youtube
I am not that active on facebook
What about R-lipoic acid? Is it more effective as it says on the label? What's better - full dose of ALA or a smaller dose of RLA?
Half of ALA is R-lipoic acid and it’s the half that counts. So if you’re taking 600mg of ALA, you’re getting 300mg of R-ALA.
So Thomas why don't diabetics take ALA as a substitute, it it not proficient enough?
What brand is the best?
what to eat or take if you got cfs
Is this safe for people with seborrheic derm I’ve read that the used feeds off of carbon chains between 11 and 24 and I know that aLA is 18 carbon long
Am no expert, but there are two forms of alpha lipoic acid (1) ALA (2) R-alpha lipoic acid. I suffer from nerve pain too and have found only the high dose R-alpha lipoic acid from AOR to be effective in my case. I take one a day, and I do not need to continue non-stop. Depending on severity of my symptoms I can take 1 or two weeks and stop until I feel the need to take it again.
What is AOR where you got the R-alpha ionic acid? I have nerve pain, arthritis and fibromyalgia, and I’m interested in any recommendations, thanks
@@poppylove3673 AOR is the brand name. You can get lots of alpha lipoic acid in different brands, however AOR R-Alpha-Lipoic acid is the one that really had an impact. I must tell you though one of my friends tried it from a different brand and said it made her symptom worse. I’d recommend you seek the advice of someone knowledgeable before trying this out (I didn’t because I was desperate and no one could figure out what I was suffering from). My symptoms got extremely bad some months after (my nerve pain also turns into electrical sensations that are so strong that it would cause jerky movements beyond my control)I had posted this response. I was prescribed Lyrica, and later on Amitryptiline which I took temporarily. Lyrica was the one that mostly took things to a whole different level. The downside though was that it made me awfully drowsy. You can get the R-alpha-lipoic acid from drug stores or health stores. Amazon also carries it. Wish you well Poppy Love.
That’s good to know, thank you for the share

7 years! Still recommended this?
Best time for me to take it (600mg) is before going to bed. I have tried taking it during the day prior to eating and there's a subjective blood sugar drop. Not pleasant.
There are 2 types of ALA... there is R-ALA and S-ALA. Buying just ALA is very likely a mix of S-ALA and R-ALA (50/50).
would be nice to know which in the test were taking: Strictly R-ALA or the ALA which is the mix..
ALA is very power stuff no doubt especially when taken with ALCAR
I read the same about R-ALA and S-ALA. Took S-ALA for one year together with my mam, we will try R-ALA now. NOrmally when you take the bioactive form of a supplement, you notice the difference very fast almost imediatly. So I will see wether there is a difference soon, although it cost about 15 bucks more
Wow. I love ALA for another reason, now. Its a great molecule!! I like how it helps Vitiman C to re-cycle. 😁
dear!We have the ALA and vitamin C injections you want.
You need to get Amalgams removed by S.M.A.R.T before taking ALA!

@@jonathanhadley2555 Whoa. Studies or anecdotes please?
Can we take this with berberine?
what is the best time to take ALA?
Can you explain the difference between A-Lipoic Acid and R-Lipoic Acid,.....and which is better?
S-ALA and R-ALA. S is synthesized and is inactive form which we don't need and R-ALA is form we need. Regular ALA that is commonly sold is actually a 50/50 mixture of S-ALA and R-ALA. Just R-ALA is unstable and often degraded before it comes in mail. There is also a different type of R-ALA to make it stable and solve this issue, it's called NA-R-ALA. They bind sodium to R-ALA to fix this issue. So in theory Na-R-Ala is probably the best and safest version of Alpha lipoic acid.
Thank you for this information. I started taking ALA for my neuropathy in my feet and legs. It does help. But what I didn't know was how much to take everyday. I have noticed my urin smelling (like it does when I eat asparagus)
600mgs a day
take one pill morning and night if well tolerated go to 2 capsules morning and night.
.. hey brother.. is there a specific brand youd recommend?.. ive been reading labels on ofher supplements and have noticed some add rice flour etc.. do you have videos on what ingredients to look out for in certain supplements?.. thanks!..
Any specific brand you would suggest? Which is better r-ala or ala?
R-Ala
Apparently it also causes pro-oxidant affects, so I’m still hesitant to take it despite the feeling it makes me feel better
talk about the benefits of benfothiamine.
R-ALA vs. S-ALA. Is there enough of an increased benefit to justify the extra cost of the R-ALA?
What studies did you look at?
Does he lift?
When is the best time to take it? On an empty stomach?
Why would you take alpha lipoic acid / R lipoic acid?
Does one take that with food or on empty stomach?
is the recommended if Im on a ketogenic diet?
I think if you're on keto. Shouldn't be a problem.
What about antioxidants interfering with training? What time to take ALA?
Hi! Thank you for all your vids. I am keto and I take 600 mg of ALA every other day. Do I need it? Even if I am in keto. I was under the impression while on keto your body is sugar free. Please explain if possible. I am thankful to you in advance for getting back to me at your convenience.
Don't take it when u are on a keto diet
@@Randow_Reborn Why?
Take it with keto !
what is the timing for taking alpha lipoic acid ?
Says on bottles, before meals. You can take it whenever you want though.
Sla what's the benefit of this synthetic la mixed in with natural Rla what does the sla in ala do
BUT DOES IT BREAK A FAST?
No
Hey Thomas, I’d urge you to look deeper at insulin resistance. It’s way more prevalent than just in diabetics! Anything that helps it, that increases insulin sensitivity, including this ALA, is a boon, as it’s the basis of pretty much every chronic disease you can name. Highly recommend the expert, both here in YT, but also in his well-referenced, easy to understand book, Why We Get Sick: Ben Bikman, PhD.
