Lipoic Acid Supreme 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Your body’s main source of energy is glucose, or sugar, which it gets from the carbohydrates in your diet. When you eat carbs like fruits, vegetables, and grains, they’re converted into glucose, and then absorbed into your bloodstream. When your pancreas detects a rise in blood sugar, it releases a hormone called insulin, which stimulates your cells in preparation of absorbing glucose. Once it gets into your cells, it provides the energy you need to power all of your bodily functions. This is a fine-tuned process that is absolutely necessary for your health; however, the quality of your diet may disrupt this process.

If you routinely eat a sugary or heavily processed diet, for instance, your pancreas can get overtaxed by working so hard. When this happens, it may not release insulin as effectively as it should. Although there are some genetic (inherited) factors that may make you especially susceptible to this, you can often stave off major issues with a balanced diet, regular activity, and a supplement.

Designs for Health’s Lipoic Acid Supreme is a natural supplement that can help control your body’s ability to process glucose. It's also been studied for its effectiveness in preventing liver problems, minor nerve damage, and wrinkles due to age. Some of the ingredients contained in these vegetarian capsules include:

• Alpha lipoic acid—a fatty acid and antioxidant that occurs naturally in your body, which has been shown to help convert blood sugar into energy.
• Biotin—a vitamin that promotes healthy blood sugar levels.
• Taurine—an amino acid that helps regulate blood sugar levels and restore balance.

Take one capsule daily with food, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. If taken at the recommended dosage, one bottle should last you about two months.
