Alpha Lipoic Acid 25 mg -Hypoallergenic- 90 Capsules

The human body faces a constant struggle to balance oxidant molecules—which are major byproducts of normal metabolism—and the body’s natural antioxidant systems. This balance is normally kept in favor of anti-oxidation; however, when disease develops, there’s a dominance of oxidant molecules, often referred to as oxidative stress. This can damage your cells and tissues.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is not only one of the most potent antioxidant molecules, but is also a promoter of other major antioxidant compounds such as vitamin E, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and glutathione. It also performs an important function in the Krebs Cycle, the cells’ major energy production mechanism. Due to its water- and fat-solubility, alpha-lipoic acid is versatile and can exert its functions in various body processes.

Scientific studies have revealed the effectiveness of alpha-lipoic acid in supporting vision and cardiovascular health. ALA promotes insulin sensitivity and may help prevent nerve damage.

This acid is synthesized in the liver. Dietary sources include from dark green, leafy vegetables and organ meats. Nevertheless, a healthy diet and natural production may not always prove to be enough, and you may benefit from taking a supplement.
