Natural Factors Alpha-Lipoic Acid 400 mg 60s

Description

Benefits & Features

• Helps maintain healthy blood sugar balance
• Protects against oxidative damage
• Helps the body recycle other antioxidants

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is known as the universal antioxidant because it is both water- and fat-soluble, and protects the entire cell from oxidative damage. This includes protecting DNA in the mitochondria – the energy-producing powerhouses of every cell. ALA increases the body’s total antioxidant capacity and levels of the key antioxidant glutathione, while recycling vitamins C and E. It protects against oxidative damage to muscles, nerves, and other tissues, and supports blood glucose (sugar) control and a normal inflammatory response.

ALA is also associated with enhanced energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and lower levels of fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin, suggesting better long-term blood glucose management. ALA’s antioxidant activity protects the muscles during intense exercise, and supports healthy blood vessel function and circulation.
