Alpha Lipoic Acid 500

Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant made by the body. It is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack "free radicals," waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Clinical Applications Provides Fat-Soluble and Water-Soluble Antioxidant Protection Protects the Neurovascular System from Free Radical Damage Supports Blood Sugar Balance Already Within Normal Levels Regenerates Vitamins C and E Increases Intracellular Glutathione Levels With its potent antioxidant properties, research has shown ALA strongly supports the neurovascular system and overall circulatory and blood vessel health. As a short-chain fatty acid, ALA can both be absorbed by fatty tissues and maintain its solubility in water, allowing it to be easily excreted from the body when not needed. In addition, orally supplemented ALA readily crosses the blood-brain barrier after absorption in the small intestine. It then undergoes distribution via systemic circulation
