ALPHA LIPOIC ACID CAPS 250MG 60S

It is fat and water soluble and enhances the entire anti-oxidant defense system. It is believed to help strengthen short term memory and offer protection against stroke, heart disease and cataracts.   

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a very strong anti-oxidant and is able to recycle Vitamin C, E and Coenzyme Q10 after they have been neutralized by free radicals and in so doing restore their ant-oxidant properties. It has been used extensively in Europe to treat short term memory loss and to help with the control of blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Recent research cited in “The Antioxidant Miracle” (L.Packer and C.Colman, 1999), carried out by leading researchers into ant-oxidants and their effects at the University of California at Berkeley suggests that ALA could play an important role in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cataracts.

ALA diminishes in the body as one ages therefore making supplementation necessary.

It is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
