 Alphalipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant, but what happens when you supplement it? Well, let's find out! Hey, what's up? Greg here, the founder of your own inception. Welcome to my channel. If you want to achieve limitless performance, then subscribe below to start a journey. Today we're going to talk about alphalipoic acid. Now, this is an organic compound found in human cells. Actually, it's made inside the mitochondrion where it converts nutrients into the energy, into the ATP energy. Now, since our body makes alphalipoic acid naturally, the question is why should you supplement it and why some people do it? What are the benefits of doing that and the potential side effects? Well, that's what we're going to talk about in this video. And at the end of the video, I'm going to tell you if I recommend it or not. So, if you're ready, let's just begin. So, what are the main benefits of alphalipoic acid? Well, there are quite many. First, it supports cellular energy creation. As I mentioned before, it turns nutrients into energy. And as such, it supports healthy metabolism. It's also powerful antioxidant. And there's some studies that show that supplementing alphalipoic acid can slow down your memory decline, can help with Alzheimer's disease. Of course, we like studies to show how effective really alphalipoic acid is in this respect, but the initial studies and the way that alphalipoic acid works shows a lot of potential benefits. Besides that alphalipoic acid supports circadian rhythms, it also lowers blood sugar levels and it may also reduce insulin resistance. That's why a lot of people with diabetes get alphalipoic acid as a supplement because it can reduce their levels of sugars in their blood. And additionally, it can kind of help with different side effects that diabetes brings, especially nerve pain, for example. And last but not least, it can be used as an individual compound or as a part of a more complex supplement to help you with anti-aging. And here, about or below in the description, you're going to find one of my favorite anti-aging supplements. So just check it out.

Well, current studies show that, yes, of course, this is an organic compound that is found in our cells. It's made naturally. So yeah, it's definitely a safe compound. However, when it comes to dosages and the recombined daily dosage, it's kind of hard to say what's the optimal daily dose because we don't know it. However, current studies show that supplementing it up to 2,400 milligrams per day seems to be completely safe. And if you overdose it, you probably won't get more benefits out of that. And also, you might experience some light side effects such as nausea or headache or that kind of stuff. But yeah, if you follow the recommendations, the current recommendations that we know about, you shouldn't really experience any side effects. Now, if you want to take it, there are two main ways how to do it. The first one is, of course, by eating certain foods. Foods such as broccoli, such as Brussels sprouts, such as spinach, for example, in tomatoes, they have a decent amount of alphalipoic acid. And by eating these foods, you should get a moderate amount of it. Also, if you love eating animal-based foods such as organic meats and other types of red meats, then you should also get a decent amount of alphalipoic acid. However, if you want to supplement it and increase the dosage of this interesting compound, then the best way to do it is to take it as a supplement, obviously, but not as an individual supplement, an individual compound, but rather in a more complex supplement with other interesting compounds and effective antioxidants, such as, for example, with coenzyme Q10, with PQQ, with resveratrol, even with biopyrin, and that kind of compounds, because combining different kinds of antioxidants can provide even more benefit than just taking one particular antioxidant compound. Just so you know, below the video, you can find some of my best recommendations where you can get a high-quality source of alphalipoic acid. By the way, guys, I have revealed 13 powerful habits that will help you dramatically boost your energy levels. To get them, download my free handbook below. So the final question is, do I recommend supplementing alphalipoic acid or not? Well, based on the current studies, based on the research I've done, I do recommend supplementing it because it may provide really good, strong benefits. It's a good antioxidant. It shows it can slow down cognitive decline. It can help with memory loss or, well, it can slow down it as well. It may help people with diabetes. It may work as an effective anti-aging compound. So there are a lot of benefits of this powerful organic compound, and those are the reasons I definitely recommend supplementing it. Now, I wouldn't take it as an individual compound. I wouldn't take it as an individual antioxidant, but I would preferably combine with other powerful antioxidants to get even more benefits. Now, if you combine it with our compounds, you'll probably need to take a lower dosage. So the optimal dosage for supplementing would be somewhere between 300 to 600 milligrams per day, at least based on the current studies. But if you combine it with our compounds, you probably should aim to about 100 to 200 milligrams of alphalipoic acid per day. Of course, keep in mind before supplementing, do consult your doctor just to be on the safe side. So one final question for you guys. Are you currently taking any antioxidants?
