An important antioxidant involved in energy production
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a vitamin-like substance that has generated much interest in the last few years, especially with regards to both its ability to act as a powerful antioxidant and because of its role in energy production. Our bodies are able to make ALA although a dietary source is still important, and it is found in almost all foods, especially in kidney, liver, spinach, and broccoli.
For those patients worn down by oxidative stress a supplement of ALA will help ensure the body has sufficient levels of this important compound. There has been considerable interest in the use of ALA in certain conditions, a recognition that this compound can be useful when taken orally.
Each of these tablets provides a full 300mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid, making it one of the most potent products on the market.
For diabetics: Please consult a doctor prior to recommending alpha lipoic acid as it may enhance insulin activity.
