R+ALA Supplement

Your body’s ultimate universal antioxidant support — The R+ALA version of ALA is the purer form of Alpha Lipoic Acid. R+ALA acts as a source of antioxidants and helps the body reduce the oxidative effects and damage caused by free radicals. In addition, it helps to promote a healthy glucose metabolism for converting sugar into energy.

The reformulated Allmax R-ALA features Na-R-ALA (Sodium R-Alpha Lipoic Acid), a stabilized form of R-ALA with superior absorption and bioavailability compared to regular ALA and unstabilized R-ALA. We’ve also increased the input from 150mg to 212.5mg, raising the active yield from 125mg to 150mg. The improved R-ALA formula delivers enhanced potency and better value!

Make the switch to the purer, most bio-active ALA, ALLMAX R+ALA.

Available in 60-capsule size.

What Is Alpha-Lipoic Acid?

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound that plays a vital role in energy production within your cells. It supports mitochondrial function – the “powerhouse” of your muscles – helping convert nutrients into energy efficiently. Beyond energy metabolism, ALA acts as a potent antioxidant, supports detoxification, and helps modulate inflammation.

Orally supplied ALA has been shown to enhance nutrient delivery to muscles, support recovery, and protect against exercise-induced oxidative stress, making it an essential supplement for athletes and active individuals looking to maximize performance and maintain long-term health.

Benefits and effects of R-ALA supplementation

R-ALA (R-Alpha Lipoic Acid) is a powerful supplement for athletes and active individuals, designed to support strength, recovery, and overall muscle health. Here’s how it can help you maximize your performance:

• Maintain Strength: Helps preserve maximal muscle strength during repeated training sessions.
  

• Reduce Muscle Damage: Lowers markers of muscle injury like creatine kinase and myoglobin, supporting faster recovery.

• Manage Inflammation: Supports a balanced post-workout inflammatory response, helping you train harder and more consistently.
  

• Powerful Antioxidant: Fights oxidative stress caused by intense exercise, protecting your muscles and cells.
  

• Boost Nutrient Delivery: Enhances the uptake of nutrients into muscles, fueling performance and recovery.
  
  

R-ALA makes it easier to push your limits, recover efficiently, and stay strong every day.

How Do I Take R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Supplement?

DOSAGE: Take 1-2 capsules of R+ALA 2-3 times daily.

Due to the nutrient delivery properties of this product, it is recommended to take R+ALA with meals, and/or supplements that require effective nutrient delivery into muscle cells, like Creatine and ISOFLEX protein powder.

Are there any side effects associated with R+ALA?

No, there aren’t. Research has shown supplementing with R+ALA to be relatively safe in moderate consumption.

Why is ALLMAX R+ALA called R+ALA? Is that different from ALA?

The R form, also known as racemic alpha lipoic acid form of ALA, is the active form. The body can efficiently use this form and is able to absorb and metabolize this form. Many commercially available ALA products on the market today consist almost entirely of the S (-) isomer of alpha lipoic acid. These inferior products have significantly weaker nutrient delivery and antioxidant properties.

Can I use ALLMAX R+ALA if I’m taking prescription drugs?

R+ALA shouldn’t interfere with your prescription drugs, but it’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor first before starting any supplement if you are taking any medications or prescription drugs.

If ALA is naturally found in food, don’t I get enough from the foods I eat?

You’re right! ALA is found in food sources such as spinach, potatoes, and red meat. However, to derive the same benefits as supplementing with ALLMAX R+ALA, you would need to consume an excessive amount of these food sources. It’s simply more convenient and cost-effective to supplement with ALLMAX R+ALA.

How does ALA help me at the gym?

By supplementing with ALLMAX R+ALA during your workouts, you’ll feel that much-desired muscle pump. ALA helps to increase your muscle’s uptake of glycogen, so you’ll find your workouts are intensified by supplementing with R+ALA. Not to mention, R+ALA has been found to be effective in enhancing the efficiency of other supplements you might be taking, such as Creatine or IsoFlex. R+ALA can help facilitate the transfer of your supplements into the muscle cells. Additionally, while exercising, you are putting your body through extreme stress, which can lead to oxidative damage to the cells. R+ALA works to neutralize unstable free radicals.

I’ve noticed some creatines on the market already have ALA mixed in them. Isn’t this more effective?

Actually, no. ALA can break down extremely quickly when it’s exposed to light and new packaging. By combining it with creatine formulas, it might break down and will not be as efficient. By combining ALLMAX R+ALA with a creatine supplement like Creatine, you can experience R+ALA’s true potential.
