Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 Mg (60 Caps)

Supports healthy glucose metabolism Provides 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid per day Alpha-lipoic acid is an exceptionally versatile nutrient. Being both water and fat-soluble, this multifunctional compound is able to function in almost every part of the body. Alpha-lipoic acid supports healthy glucose metabolism by regulating enzymes involved in glucose oxidation. Maintaining healthy glucose metabolism is fundamental to preventing the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which decrease the function of the body's proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. In addition to supporting healthy glucose metabolism, the antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid also reduce oxidative stress, which is closely related to AGE production and is a known contributing factor to many of the health problems associated with AGEs. Alpha-lipoic acid scavenges free radicals and regenerates the antioxidant vitamins C and E. This formulation also contains vitamin C to support and enhance the body's natural defense mechanisms against free radicals.
