Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a fat- and water-soluble nutrient with antioxidant activity. Alpha lipoic acid can be made in the body, though production declines with age. 

A sulfur-containing compound present in human cells, it is required for energy production within the mitochondria and provides protection both inside and outside the cell. ALA has the ability to regenerate and extend the biochemical lifetime of other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, as well as glutathione and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). As such, it plays a role in fighting oxidative stress and free radical formation. As a coenzyme, ALA is needed to break down glucose for energy metabolism. 

This versatile nutrient has been shown to promote vascular and connective tissue health, support cell structures and the nervous system, help maintain healthy liver function and help maintain lipid and blood glucose levels already within normal ranges. ALA has been studied for its role in circulatory function, particularly in the nervous system.

This nutrient supports healthy aging, reducing oxidative stress in the brain, eyes and heart. ALA may also neutralize free radicals to provide protection from damage to the elastin and collagen in the skin. It also provides support for athletes by promoting energy production in muscles and directing calories into energy production.
