Alpha Lipoic Acid

Nature's Natural Anti-Oxidant!
 
Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid:

• Extends the life and effectiveness of Vitamins C, E, CoQ10, and Glutathione.
  
• Helps support sugar metabolism, especially beneficial to diabetics.
  
• Supports memory function by reducing free radical damage to neural cells.
  
• Increases the protective benefits to all body cells through its high water solubility. 
  

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile water and fat soluble metabolic antioxidant. It is
a potent free radical quencher and aids Vitamins C and E in their antioxidant
activities. Vitamins C and E are added as complimentary, synergistic antioxidants.

Although the existence of alpha lipoic acid was discovered back in the 1950’s,
it has only been in recent years that it has become one of the hottest products
on the supplement scene. The body uses alpha-lipoic acid to produce energy,
and perform basic metabolic functions.

It is now seen as a very special and powerful antioxidant, however, because
studies show it is readily absorbed throughout the body (it is both water
and fat soluble) and, as such, can protect the integrity of cells ranging from
the brain to the liver. Unfortunately, the body does not produce any surplus
of alpha-lipoic acid naturally, and it is only in this surplus “free” state that
it acts as a potent antioxidant. Because the body produces it in only very
small quantities, obtaining amounts necessary for therapeutic benefit
must be derived from supplementation.

Since alpha lipoic acid is believed to be such a powerful antioxidant, it is
now used to treat and prevent a wide array of age related diseases,
including diabetes, cataracts, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s, along with
boosting the immune system.
