Alpha Lipoic Acid

Package Description: 90 caps
Serving Size (cap): 1

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant vital in the conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to energy by working with insulin receptors to regulate blood sugars. This regulation of blood sugars is important for weight loss as well as healthy blood sugar levels, which is why ALA has played such an important role in reducing the effects of diabetes. These effects include but are not limited to cataracts, glaucoma, and nerve damage repair.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is both water and fat-soluble making it the only "Universal" antioxidant. The powerful actions of ALA not only arrest free radicals but also recycle other antioxidants giving them new life. This powerful action is why ALA stands alone as one of the most powerful antioxidants on the natural products market today.

Usage Suggestion:1 capsule 1-3 times daily with food

IDS Alpha Lipoic Acid 90 caps DISCONTINUED within category: Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid is one of our best antioxidants, and for a number of reasons:
 
  1. Alpha-lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble.  It can get to places in the body other antioxidants simply can not.  It appears to be especially valuable in the eyes and nervous system
  2. Alpha-lipoic acid even functions as an antioxidant in our mitochondria -- the energy-generating "engines" of our cells.  Maintaining the health of our mitochondria is crucial to healthy aging.
  3. Alpha-lipoic acid can regenerate glutathione, the body's most important naturally-occurring antioxidant in the liver and lungs.
  4. Alpha-lipoic acid is more than just an antioxidant!  It also appears to have a slight insulin-mimicking effect, tending to lower high blood sugar. 
Alpha-lipoic acid is one of our very most versatile nutrients.  Unlike almost every other antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid isn't limited to just watery or fatty tissues.  It can go almost anywhere in the body: everywhere from the mitochondria (the energy-producing "engines" of the cells), to the fluids inside the eyes. 
 
Alpha-lipoic acid is a true broad-spectrum "anti-aging" nutrient.  In fact, if some preliminary rat studies play out in humans, the combination of alpha-lipoic acid with another supplement, acetyl-l-carnitine, could turn out to be among the most potent anti-aging therapies in our repertoire.
 
In terms of the eyes, alpha-lipoic acid is valuable for its ability to actually get into the eyes, where many antioxidants simply can not go.  There, alpha-lipoic acid mop up damage-causing free-radicals, and recycle vitamin C, which in turns is needed to maintain hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid is the tissue in the back of the eyes that's responsible for healthy fluid transfer.  Damaged hyaluronic acid appears to behind the fluid build-up in the eyes that causes glaucoma.
 
Furthermore, alpha-lipoic acid is useful in a number of different kinds of nerve damage, implying it could be especially useful in glaucoma, an implication that has been borne out be clinical research. 
 
There's probably no such thing as a one-size-fits-all eye supplement, but alpha-lipoic acid may be the closest thing we have.
