- Efficient Energy Production ALA is essential for energy production by directing calories from food into energy & away from fat production. MET-Rx ALA also regulates blood sugar levels, which may prevent excess fat storage. Where Can I Find ALA?ALA can be found in foods such as meats & vegetables, especially spinach. It is easily absorbed into the blood-stream, & can also cross the blood brain barrier. Two of the best natural sources of lipoic acid are yeast & liver, but the body can synthesise it when necessary. Most alpha lipoic acid in food is derived from lipoamide-containing enzymes & is bound to the amino acid, lysine (lipoylly-sine).
