Alpha Lipoic Acid, 60 caps
Manufacturer Pure Encapsulations
Size 60 cap
Versatile nutrient, supports normal blood sugar levels
Alpha Lipoic Acid is an exceptionally versatile nutrient;
being both water and fat soluble, it is able to function in
almost any part of the body. It is manufactured in the body,
but often times not in the amounts necessary to perform its
many functions. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant
which neutralizes harmful free radicals and enhances the
activity of vitamins C and E. A key component of the
metabolic process, alpha lipoic acid produces energy in
muscles and directs calories into energy production. In
addition, this potent nutrient helps sustain normal blood
sugar levels, supports the nervous system, and provides
nutritional support for normal liver functioning. In one
study, alpha lipoic acid decreased serum lactate and
pyruvate and promoted healthy glucose metabolism in lean and
overweight individuals. Alpha lipoic acid supported nerve
health in subjects who participated in a four-month
randomized double blind placebo controlled multicenter
trial. The ability of alpha lipoic acid to modulate nitric
oxide metabolite activity and to promote healthy
microcirculation accounted for its ability to promote nerve
cell health in two separate studies.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a multifunctional, versatile nutrient
which plays a key role in the antioxidant network and the
metabolic process.
