400 times the strength of vitamin C, the particle of this anti-oxidant is small enough to penetrate to the mitochondria of the cell. Protects the inside of the cell where the cell's energy is produced.
As A Treatment"..."Stimulation of glucose utilization by thioctic acid," Biophys Acta 222: 583-86, 1970] Lipoic acid also fights free radical damage in both fatty and watery regions of cells and helps to recycle other antioxidants in what is described as "antioxidant synergism"..."
An antioxidant found in the body which helps maintain normal nerve function.
Helps improve the appearance of uneven texture and skin discoloration; a powerful antioxidant that boosts the efficacy of both vitamins C and E in the skin.
Enzyme found in our body's mitochondria, but as a dietary supplement, it is an antioxidant as well as an important co-factor for other vitamins. Can lower blood sugar levels and increase energy.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a sulfur-containing substance manufactured by your body and is beneficial because of its involvement in carbohydrate metabolism. Since Alpha Lipoic Acid deactivates both fat and water soluble free radicals, it protects lipoproteins and membranes, which is something no other antioxidant can do.
Coenzyme that works with other antioxidants.
An endogenous antioxidant.
has the needed vitamin core.
An efficient antioxidant, Alpha-Lipoic Acid at high dose levels has been shown to increase glucose uptake, indicating potential utility in the management of blood glucose levels. In diabetics, proteins tend to bind with glucose, precipitating oxidative damage. Alpha-Lipoic Acid supplementation reduces glycation of proteins, thereby offering protection. Alpha-Lipoic Acid also protects against cholesterol oxidation and the consequent atherosclerosis in diabetics as well as in others at risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Derived from vegetables; antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, smoothes and tones.
(Thioctic Acid) — a powerful antioxidant that is a both water and lipid soluble; helps improve the appearance of uneven texture and acne remnant marks.
In addition to functioning as an antioxidant, this hard-working nutrient assists the B vitamins in producing energy from the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats consumed through foods.
is a highly potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the mitochondria, (the power plants of cells) where energy for all cellular activities is generated. Some nutritionists believe that mitochondrial free radicals play an important role in human aging. We include it in our anti-aging products.
is a sulfur bearing compound with antioxidant properties. It plays a role in energy metabolism and amplifies the ability of other antioxidants to combat free redicals and enhance recovery.
A sulfur bearing phytonutrient with antioxidant properties; amplifies effects of other antioxidants. It is an insulin potentiator that may be, in some respects, the very best insulin mimicker. See: Alpha Lipoic Acid
Sometimes called the "Mother" antioxidant, alpha lipoic acid is one of the main boosters of glutathione levels in body cells, and is one of the key co-factors involved in generating energy in the cells mitochondria.
Present naturally in our bodies, it is a unique and powerful antioxidant that is part of an enzyme complex that assists in energy production within our cells.
has anti-inflammatory benefits, plus its water and fat soluble to protect skin cells.
A versatile antioxidant that functions in either water-soluble or fat-soluble environments. Alpha-lipoic acid ( ALA ) also regenerates other antioxidants.
As A Treatment"...It also regenerates other antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione..."
Alpha lipoic acid is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant," because it is soluble in both fat and water.
ALA is a fat and water soluble molecule that functions as an antioxidant itself, while also helping to recycle vitamins C and E (as well as glutathione), which enhances all of their antioxidant properties. ALA has also been shown to help prevent cataracts, improve the immune system, and enhance the liver's ability to detoxify metals. It has also shown promising results in treating diabetic nerve damage and improving blood flow to the peripheral nerves.
As A Treatment"Discovered in 1951, lipoic acid (also called alpha-lipoic acid or ALA) has long been recognized as a coenzyme that helps break down sugar for energy production during the Krebs cycle..."
