Product Description

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile water and fat soluble metabolic antioxidant. It is a potent free radical quencher and aids Vitamin C and E in their antioxidant activities. Vitamins C and E are added as complementary, synergistic antioxidants.

Health Benefits

Alpha-lipoic acid is unique in its ability to reach the majority of the body's systems. It has this characteristic because alpha-lipoic acid is both water soluble and fat soluble. This enables alpha-lipoic acid to be biologically active in the lipid environment of the cell membrane and the aqueous environment of the cell's interior. It therefore offers a high level of protection from a variety of damaging free radicals. In fact, alpha-lipoic acid has been used for nearly thirty years in Europe to treat peripheral nerve degeneration, lower cholesterol, detoxify the liver, and to help diabetics control blood sugar levels. Moreover, alpha-lipoic acid has been found to help protect the mitochondria and the DNA throughout the aging process. In protecting the functionality of the mitochondria, one may be able to effectively combat the effects of aging.

Suggested Use

As a dietary supplement, take 1 or 2 Vcaps® daily, preferably with meals.
