Our healthy fitness approach recognizes that short term weight loss often produces long term weight gain or emphasise ppearance in front of health.
If you want to understand how the LookCut method of Healthy Fitness for lasting weight loss differs from everything else out there, read the following
TRADE NAME: Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Chemical Name: Alpha lipoic acid or thioctic acid
Type of Supplement: Glucose Control
WHAT IT IS: ALA is a vitamin-like substance that functions as a co-factor for energy production. As both a water soluble and a fat soluble antioxidant, it provides internal cell protection and cell membrane (external) protection against free radicals. While the body can make ALA on its own, levels decline with age and stress.
HOW IT WORKS: Upon ingestion, ALA is absorbed by the small intestine, enters the bloodstream and crosses the blood-brain barrier and is found within cells, between cell tissue and within the mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse). In fact, when the body makes its own ALA, it synthesizes it in the mitochondria. As an antioxidant, ALA prevents reactive oxygen species (free radicals) from damaging cell membranes.
