Trying for a Baby? Increase Your Success Rate with R-ALA, Your Fertility Booster Vitamin!
Did you know that Malaysia's Total Fertility Rate dropped sharply to 1.7 children per woman in 2023, down from 4.0 in 1980? [1]
The nation’s fertility rate dropped even lower to 1.6 children in 2024 [2].
What Causes Infertility?
Infertility can be caused by a variety of factors- from ovulatory disorders such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), hormonal imbalances, and endometriosis in women, to low sperm count in men.
Getting older and environmental factors like pesticides, heavy metals, and other outdoor pollutants can decrease fertility in both men and women. Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and extreme exercise can also affect hormone levels and overall reproductive health [3].
What is Alpha Lipoic Acid & How Can it Boost Fertility?
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a type of fatty acid that is present in each cell that makes up our body.
ALA is more potent than Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and CoQ10, and is located in the mitochondria (the parts of our cells that create energy by using glucose in our bodies).
Did you know that ALA is unique, due to its ability to be both water and fat-soluble? This allows it to work in every cell or tissue in your body! ALA is known as a ‘Universal Antioxidant’ because it can recycle and recharge even common antioxidants like Vitamin C and Glutathione. This makes it superior compared to other antioxidants.
Why ALA Matters for Successful Conception
ALA is a substance that your body makes in small amounts. But the amount produced naturally isn’t always enough to make a difference, especially if you’re aiming to improve fertility.
ALA Supplements have been found to contain up to 1,000 times more alpha-lipoic acid than foods. If you consume R-Lipoic Acid (R-ALA), you’re getting the most active and natural version of lipoic acid, and this is ideal for women who desire to conceive.
4 Ways ALA Boosts Female Fertility!
1. Hormonal balance:
ALA works to improve insulin sensitivity (how effectively your body's cells respond to insulin). Insulin helps your body turn food into energy and manages your blood sugar levels. ALA directs sugar into cells, thus reducing and stabilizing blood sugar levels.
This is particularly beneficial for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as better insulin sensitivity helps balance hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which are crucial for regular menstrual cycles and ovulation [4].
2. Ovarian health:
ALA reduces oxidative stress, which can lead to cell and tissue damage. It supports overall ovarian health and function, which is essential for the development and release of healthy eggs.
3. Anti-inflammatory:
ALA reduces pro-inflammatory compounds that arise during pregnancy and which can threaten the life and development of an embryo [5].
A study has shown that ALA may help reduce the risk of miscarriage in women by improving the reabsorption of the subchorionic hematoma (a dangerous condition that occurs when blood collects under the chorionic membrane during pregnancy) [5].
ALA also improves egg quality, increasing the likelihood of successful fertilisation and embryo development [6].
Since ALA protects the mitochondria from the effects of ageing, this will help support egg maturation as well.
- Endometrial health: ALA also strengthens the endometrial lining, making it easier for embryos to be implanted in the womb successfully.
ALA Improves Fertility in Men
It’s not only women who struggle with fertility. ALA also works for men with low fertility. One study found that men who supplemented with ALA had significantly increased sperm count, sperm concentration, and sperm motility (enabling sperm to better reach and fertilize an egg) [7].
ALA vs. R-ALA- What’s the Difference?
Not all ALA supplements are created equal. Most contain a mix of natural ALA (called R-ALA) and synthetic ALA (S-ALA). R-ALA is the ideal and superior choice as it is the form of ALA that the body produces and requires [8].
Kordel’s R-ALA is 400% more powerful and better absorbed by the body compared to other ALA supplements on the market.
It is more potent because the body recognizes and knows how to use it effectively. As a result, a lower dosage is required- only ¼ of the dosage is needed to see excellent results. It is also stable at room temperature and in the stomach, making it more easily absorbed by the body.
