How much can you lose with lipoic acid

In various sources you can find numbers up to “minus 5 kg per month.”
Lipoic acid is really involved in metabolism, but
any scientific evidence confirming that it’s losing weight with her
at 5 kg, no. In principle, over 5 kg per month overweight people
can lose weight from any changes.

The placebo effect is known – we start taking any pills
for losing weight, or powders, or something else, but in fact,
just eat less, because it becomes awkward for us to overeat if we
already doing something for your figure. So what does this lipoic
acid?

What is lipoic acid, why they drink it for weight loss

Lipoic acid is also known as vitamin N. This is one of
natural substances of the antioxidant group. It is contained in potatoes
and broccoli, also in greens. Like other antioxidants, protects
human cells from the action of free radicals, contributes
speeding up the metabolism and improves carbohydrate metabolism.

Lipoic acid is used for weight loss, as it accelerates
assimilation of glucose by muscle cells. This, according to supporters of such
Ways, in itself, helps to get rid of excess weight. At the very
In fact, taking lipoic acid makes more sense for those people
who seek to lose weight with physical
loads and have difficulty recovering. Receiving lipoic
acid helps them in the recovery of muscle cells.
Further, as in the chain, the recovery process “spends” calories,
physical activity also spends them, we “fall” into the deficit zone
energy and losing weight.

By itself, the fact that some cells of the body quickly
digested glucose is not a sign that we burn fat. AND
Of course, this does not help those who overeat. Lipoe
acid does not “clog” glucose into cells forcibly and does not block
the processes of formation of excess fat, if we use excess
calories

So antioxidant activity is great, of course, but
Acid alone will not help a person whose
there are nutritional problems and there is no physical
activity.

and advise antioxidant supplements.

For weight loss, 150-200 mg of lipoic acid is recommended.
daily It should be taken on an empty stomach. Here are the opinions of sources
dispersed – some say that you need to drink half the dosage
before breakfast for 30-40 minutes and as much before lunch, others –
that you should take the drug 2 hours after any major
food intake.

Most preparations of sports nutrition with lipoic acid
are drunk in the morning before breakfast, and, moreover, not even before breakfast, but
before morning cardio.

What does this make sense? Theoretically if we try better
to recover by taking lipoic acid, we must
be some amount of glucose in the blood. AND мы должны пить препарат
after 1-2 meals. But if we are not on a low-carb diet,
the night glycogen depot will not have time to empty out because we can
take the drug and on an empty stomach, especially if we need to
improve muscle nutrition during morning cardio.

Anyway, it makes sense to tie the acid intake to
training If you do it right in front of her, an hour while you
exercise, the drug is absorbed by the body, and really will
help muscles “take” glucose for recovery needs.
