Support blood sugar balance and nerve health with this universal antioxidant
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is unique in being both water and fat soluble. This means it can work across all cellular compartments, providing broad antioxidant support that most other antioxidants cannot match.
Each capsule provides 100mg of alpha lipoic acid. ALA plays a key role in mitochondrial energy production, helping convert glucose into cellular energy. It also regenerates other antioxidants including vitamins C and E, glutathione and CoQ10, effectively recycling them for continued use.
ALA has been extensively studied for its effects on blood sugar regulation, nerve health and heavy metal chelation. It supports insulin sensitivity and is one of the few antioxidants shown to cross the blood brain barrier, making it relevant for neurological support. It is commonly used alongside other mitochondrial support nutrients such as acetyl L-carnitine and CoQ10.

Directions for use:
Take 1 capsule per day with food.

Take with food for best absorption.
Pollution, UV exposure, processed foods, stress, intense exercise, and normal metabolism all generate free radicals.
