Alpha Lipoic Acid 500 mg 90 vcaps
Description:
Lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that protects and repairs cells and reduces damage caused by oxidation; it also improves the efficacy of vitamins C and E, two other well-known antioxidants. Lipoic acid supports liver health, immune system function, healthy circulation, clear vision, and glucose metabolism, as well as cardiovascular and neurological health. It’s an important component of metabolic systems, and since it’s both fat- and water-soluble, it has unique characteristics and a distinct advantage over other antioxidants.*
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally-occurring compound that our body produces and that we also consume from dietary sources, such as red meat, spinach, and wheat germ. While our body produces sufficient lipoic acid under normal circumstances, it may be considered a “conditionally-essential” nutrient like coenzyme Q10, where the body’s own manufacture of alpha-lipoic acid may not be enough during conditions of oxidative stress. In situations like this, or for individuals who have a natural deficiency of this important antioxidant, supplementation with alpha-lipoic acid would be extremely beneficial.* Nutritional Facts:

Alpha-Lipoic Acid’s Many Other Benefits
This potent antioxidant is not just useful for supporting healthy blood sugar metabolism – it can help support overall health in a variety of ways. For example:
Alpha-lipoic acid can protect brain cells from free radical damage caused by oxidative stress.* Studies indicate alpha-lipoic acid’s usefulness in supporting and promoting healthy hearing function, likely because of its ability to inhibit free radicals and damage due to oxidative stress.* Alpha-lipoic acid can promote healthy aging by enhancing mitochondrial function.* ALA has also been found to promote healthy liver function and enhance optimal detoxification. Alpha-lipoic acid may support immune function as an antioxidant that can dramatically increase glutathione levels. Glutathione plays an important role in the immune system.* Increased levels of glycated proteins in the body are one of the contributing factors to the effects of aging. Alpha-lipoic acid can block or reduce the glycation of proteins in tissues, as well as protect proteins exposed to oxidative stress.*
