Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg

Unique fat- and water-soluble antioxidant Supports healthy glucose metabolism Provides 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid per day Alpha-lipoic acid is an extremely versatile nutrient. Because it is both water- and fat-soluble, this multifunctional compound can be effective in virtually any part of the body. Alpha-lipoic acid supports healthy glucose metabolism by regulating enzymes involved in glucose oxidation. Maintaining healthy glucose metabolism is essential to prevent the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which reduce the efficiency of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. In addition to supporting healthy glucose metabolism, the antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid also reduce oxidative stress, which is closely linked to AGE production and is a known contributor to many of the same health problems associated with AGEs. Alpha-lipoic acid scavenges free radicals and replenishes antioxidant vitamins C and E. This formula also includes vitamin C to further support and enhance the body's natural defense mechanisms against free radicals.
