Bluebonnet Nutrition Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 Mg - 60 Vegetable Capsules

Antioxidants
Free radicals are generated by your exposure to harmful environmental facts, such as smog, ozone, chemicals, drugs, smoking, and radiation, as well as during normal physiological processes, especially in defense against microbes and other foreign substances. Free radicals can damage your DNA, as well as proteins and lipids within your cells, altering or inhibiting healthy cellular functioning. Antioxidants like Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) help control or eliminate free radicals by donating electrons, thus maintaining your cellular health by offsetting the damage they could otherwise cause. But many factors can compromise your body’s levels of antioxidants, including the normal aging process, certain medications, and oxidative stress, making supplementation more important for many people.

Free-Radical Fighter!
ALA scavenges and terminates harmful free radicals that can cause oxidative stress in your body. The quenching of these free radicals is a highly important aspect of healthy aging and your immune health. It helps reduce the workload of your liver and improve your cellular health by chelating heavy metals, so they can be cleared from your body. In addition, Bluebonnet Nutrition Alpha-Lipoic Acid supports healthy blood-sugar balance, helping you achieve normal glucose metabolism in your cells, which, in turn, supports cellular energy. What’s more, preliminary studies indicate that ALA supplements may improve your memory and cognitive function.

The Energy Maker!
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is widely recognized for its ability to generate a coenzyme that produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main source of energy in your cells, affecting all of your muscle contractions and almost all the other activities that your cells perform. Even more important, maybe, is ALA’s powerful antioxidant properties because it reactivates helpful compounds, including Vitamin C, glutathione, Vitamin E, and coenzyme 10 (CoQ10) – enabling them to do their jobs for your health.

There’s More!
Because it also helps protect your vision and nerve function, ALA often is used to help protect your eyes from retinal damage caused by diabetes and is being considered in treatment of glaucoma, kidney conditions, and migraines. This fatty acid also has been found useful in controlling nerve damage caused by other medical conditions and diseases and is particularly helpful in controlling leg pain, tingling, and numbness.
