Alpha Lipoic Acid (300 mg, 90 medium tablets) Feature
- High potency energy & cell protection
- Reactivates vitamin C and E, glutathione, and CoQ10 to their active states
- Promotes proper conversion of food to energy
- Extra strength 300mg time release tablets promote maximum absorbency
- Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant that promotes the body's production of energy. It supports the conversion of carbohydrates, fat, and protein from food into fuel during the Krebs cycle, stimulating production of ATP (the body's energy source). As an antioxidant, ALA is known to help neutralize the effects of free radicals on the body by enhancing the antioxidant functions of vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione. This advanced 300mg extra strength formula uses the highest quality ALA.
Additionally, once in the body, one of ALA's constituents supports the reactivation of vitamin C and Vitamin E from their oxidized forms. In a sense, this process "recycles" C and E for our additional use and benefit. Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the most important, yet least known nutrients in the antioxidant family. One of the leading free radical researchers in the world is Lester Packer, M.D., Ph.D., who leads the Membrane Bioenergetics Group and Department of Molecular & Cell Biology at the University of California at Berkeley. Dr. Packer's review article entitled "Alpha-Lipoic Acid as a Biological Antioxidant" published in the journal Free Radical Biology & Medicine presented a compelling case for the "universal" antioxidant properties of alpha lipoic acid. Packer writes that, "Alpha lipoic acid is readily absorbed from the diet. It is rapidly converted to DHLA (dihydrolipoic acid) in many tissues, as recent advances in assay technique have made evident... Both DHLA and alpha lipoic acid have metal chelating activity. DHLA acts syngeristically with other antioxidants, including that it is capable of regenerating other antioxidants from their radical or inactive forms." "It appears that alpha lipoic acid and DHLA act as antioxidants not only directly, through radical quenching and metal chelation, but indirectly as well, through recycling of other antioxidants and through the induction of increased intracellular levels of glutathione."
