Known as the “universal” antioxidant Description: Alpha Lipoic Acid is apparently a special antioxidant.
Very potent and versatile it is one of the most powerful anti-aging, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory available and is known as the “universal” antioxidant because it is both fat and water soluble.
ALA has been found to act as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, accelerate the removal of glucose from the
bloodstream, improve insulin function and decrease insulin resistance and has been shown to inhibit replication of
HIV in a test tube.

Additional Information: Vegetarians, dieters, and athletes often lack sufficient amounts of this important nutrient in their diet and almost everyone can use the protection it may provide to fight environmental stresses. It works in both the fatty cell plasma membrane and the aqueous interior of the cell to protect the body against free radicals. It is, in fact, 100 times stronger than
Vitamin E and Vitamin C combined, both of which are known for their excellent anti-oxidant qualities.
ALA protects DNA, the mitochondria (the energy producing portion of the cell) and reduces cellular inflammation. Dr. Perricone, noted dermatologist, highly recommends ALA in his Wrinkle-Free program. He states, “The importance of alpha lipoic acid-the metabolic antioxidant-is hard to overstate. As you know the higher the energy level of the cell, the more youthful you remain.”
With the pollution, stress and challenges of modern living, Alpha Lipoic Acid may well be the best protection you can give your body against aging and disease.
