Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is one of the most versatile antioxidants available. ALA's unique chemical properties allow it to support blood sugar balance already within normal levels and increase intracellular glutathione levels.
- 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
Lipoic Acid 300 mg
1 capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
Blood Sugar Balance
In Germany, ALA has long been used to support neurovascular function. One of the many health benefits of lipoic acid is its ability to support insulin sensitivity by preventing oxidative damage resulting from dips in blood sugar. ALA is also required for the cellular breakdown of carbohydrates and fatty acids. It supports blood vessel and circulatory health via its role in antioxidant regeneration.
At the molecular level, ALA supports blood sugar balance by activating a protein called adenosine mono-phosphate kinase (AMPK), a regulator of cellular energy. AMPK coordinates both long-term and short-term metabolic changes, improving energy production and reducing energy storage.
Eye Health
Lipoic acid has also been used to support eye health.
