There’s a lot of hype around dietary supplements. There’s also a lot of hype around weight loss. I’m not about hype, but I am about results.
If you can use supplements to support a healthier metabolism and make it easier for you to lose weight….I’m all for that. Also, new research out of Oregon State University shows what the dietary supplement alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) does.
Here are some of the ways ALA works:
- ALA works inside mitochondria to support energy production
- ALA supports blood sugar metabolism
- ALA supports antioxidant defenses
- ALA supports healthy inflammatory pathways
There are plenty of research studies of ALA, but the most recent one found that overweight (but otherwise healthy) people who took ALA for 6 weeks lost more body weight and body fat than people who didn’t take the supplement.
ALA was especially helpful for women and for the heaviest participants in the study.
