Ingredients
Alpha lipoic acid (50:50 R,S) 250mg
Purpose/Usage
Alpha lipoic acid is a naturally occurring compound necessary for the conversion of glucose into ATP (chemical energy). In addition to its role in food metabolism, LA reduces oxidative stress - a potent antioxidant in its own right, it also “recycles” other antioxidants such as vitamins E and C, Co-Q10 and glutathione, so they can continue to protect against free radical damage. LA has a unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, therefore reducing oxidative stress in the brain associated with neurological impairment. LA has been approved in Germany for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.
May assist with reduction of symptoms associated to insulin resistance, diabetes, neuropathies (including burning mouth syndrome), stroke recovery, cancer, rheumatism, obesity, neurological disease (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc), HIV, eye problems (cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration).
Also highly recommended for people regularly exposed to oxidative stress, chemicals or toxins and sports people.
Precautions
Safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. People using medications for blood glucose control (e.g insulin) should closely monitor their blood glucose levels. People using thyroid medication should consult a health care professional before taking LA. Protein & B vitamin supplementation is recommended with long term use.
Medicines have benefits and some may have risks. Always read the label
