Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that is fat and water soluble. Its reduced form regenerates works within the cells to regenerate antioxidants‚ such as vitamin C‚ vitamin E and glutathione. Because of this‚ it is an excellent addition to the supplemental regimen of people with compromised hepatic function. Alpha Lipoic acid may also increase cellular glucose; but that’s not all it can do. Studies have shown that this antioxidant may help improve memory performance when taken along with L-Carnitine.
These alpha lipoic acid capsules by Metabolic Maintenance can assist the body with hepatic function‚ and improve memory function.
Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant that the body actually produces. It can be found in every single cell‚ helping to turn glucose into energy. As an antioxidant‚ its job is to help fight free radicals and avoid the cell damage and destruction they can cause. Free radicals are known to cause harmful chemical reactions that weaken the body’s immune system and make it harder to fight off infection. In addition‚ they can also wreak havoc on organs and tissues within the body.
Unlike the other antioxidants that can fight free radical damage‚ such as vitamins A and E‚ alpha lipoic is both water and fat soluble. This means that it has less limitations and can work throughout the body. Some evidence suggests that alpha lipoic acid may also give new life to other antioxidants that have been “used up‚” allowing them to fight cell damage multiple times.
Alpha lipoic acid is often confused with alpha linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid)‚ but the two are actually quite different. The only similarity is that they are both abbreviated as ALA. Alpha lipoic acid is sometimes also simply called Lipoic Acid.

Our doctor uses Alpha Lipoic Acid by Metaboilc Maintenance exclusively for all of his patients. My husband is doing very well on this and several others from Metabolic Maintenance. It is more money than others but they can't compare.

The price point is somewhat high.

Important part of my regimen
I have been using ALA for 2 years and credit it with slowing the progression of primary progressive MS. I chose Alpha Lipoic Acid by Metabolic Maintenance on the recommendation of Dr. Berkson. PureFormulas consistently has the lowest price.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.
