Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg

Unique fat- and water-soluble antioxidantPromotes healthy glucose metabolismProvides 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid dailyAlpha-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 the production of AGEs and is a known contributing factor to many of the same health problems associated with AGEs. Alpha-lipoic acid scavenges free radicals and replenishes vitamins C and E, which are antioxidants. This formulation also includes vitamin C to further support and enhance the body's natural defense mechanisms against free radicals.
