Alpha Lipoic

Product Information

Lipoic acid is a well-known natural substance found in certain foods and also produced in the human body. It has an impressive array of potentially beneficial mechanisms of action: 

• Lipoic acid is a potent and versatile antioxidant.
• It is a co-factor in a key biochemical pathway responsible for energy production in the cells (citric acid cycle).
• It inhibits cross-linking which is the formation of chemical bridges between proteins or other large molecules. Cross-linking contributed to the aging process by causing hardening of arteries, wrinkling of the skin and stiffening of joints.
• It has moderate anti-inflammatory effect.
• Finally, it has a capacity, albeit a modest one, to neutralize and remove from the body a variety of toxic metals.

Lipoic acid supplements have been repeatedly demonstrated to benefit a number of health conditions, including the neurological complications of diabetes, arterial sclerosis and others.
