The market for natural products in North America is saturated with products that claim to increase metabolism to take off a pound. You can find a fat burner Hydroxycut caffeine, liquid gel green tea and a series of supplements that claim correct "glucose intolerance" (the general term is "insulin resistance") specifically to help diabetics lose weight. A study just published in February 2008, however, suggests that the combination of two securitylow-cost supplements can: Expand and activate the mitochondria ( "energy machinery") in adipose tissue to oxidize lipids The insulin to activate glucose transport and fatty acids in the blood of fat cells with these activated mitochondria and Do all this without increasing heart rate or interfere with the action of thyroid hormones. These two supplements lipoic acid and L-carnitine. Alpha-lipoic acid, ALA, or as commonly called,counteracts the glycation, or "caramelize" the protein hemoglobin in the blood. We want to stress the kidneys, and also gives the number of diabetics to lower their regular health check-up HbA1C. The most common form of ALA is a mixture of isomers of chemicals, one of which can be used by the body (R-lipoic acid) and can not (the S-shape of the molecule), but all the extras that ALA is at least 50 percent bioavailable.
L-carnitine is not known, but some applicationsDiabetes, too. There is a growing body of evidence that intake of 200 to 2,000 mg of L-carnitine per day may protect the brain tissue diabetics.
And it was brain science at the University of California at Irvine and the Institutes of Biological Sciences, Shanghai, China seems to have discovered the potential of a combination of lipoic acid and L-carnitine to help control weight
In research just published in February 2008, the scientists exposed the fat cells to lipoic acid, L-carnitine,or a mixture of both. Neither lipoic acid or L-carnitine alone had little effect on the activities of fat cells. Overall, however, both antioxidants resulted in organelles called mitochondria energy to grow, literally, overnight, burning more and more fatty acids into glucose.
The combination of lipoic acid and L-carnitine also promotes the absorption of fatty acids and sugars in the same way that drugs Actos and Avandia, with one crucial difference. Actos and Avandia aloneTake the sugar in the blood and into storage. Alpha-lipoic acid and L-carnitine get the sugar and fat in a fat cell is ready to burn.
While taking 2,000 mg per day of both supplements not hurt you (make sure to take biotin if you take in more lipoic acid), this study has not demonstrated with scientific certainty that the combination of 'lipoic acid and L-carnitine acts as a valuable aid diet. The researchers used cells taken from mice, not humans, and the level ofThe experiment was the laboratory, not clinical. However, as a means to increase weight loss without caffeine or thyroid hormone, this study is an important first step.
