Alpha-Lipoic Acid, 300mg, 60 Softgels

Alpha-lipoic acid was discovered in 1951, and has long been recognized as a coenzyme needed to break down sugar for energy production. It was not until 1988 that researchers realized that not only is alpha-lipoic acid itself an antioxidant, but the body converts some of it to dihydrolipoic acid, which posesses antioxidant properties. The body is capable of making some alpha-lipoic acid.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid is often referred to as "the metabolic antioxidant" because of its involvement in energy producing reactions in the body. Both fat and water soluble, Alpha-Lipoic Acid provides antioxidant protection inside the cell and at the cell membrane level. It also increases antioxidant protetion by helping the body recycle vitamis C and E, CoQ10 and glutathione. Alpha-Lipoic Acid taken in higher potencies has been shown to support healthy blood sugar already within a normal range.   View Product Information Sheet (PDF)
