Cellular Antioxidant Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that is soluble in both fat and water. It directly recycles vitamin C and indirectly recycles vitamin E, providing additional antioxidant protection, and plays a role in the recycling of glutathione, a nutrient important in the liver detoxification system. It is an important component in the energy production process in the cells. Alpha-lipoic acid is a coenzyme that assists in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-coA. Acetyl-coA is the beginning point for the Krebs cycle, one of the body’s main energy production cycles, which produces the high-energy molecule ATP. Source Naturals Alpha-Lipoic acid contains a racemic mixture that yields equal amounts of R and S lipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid supports the immune system and healthy liver function. It also supports normal blood sugar levels and increases insulin sensitivity. For maximum results include vitamin B complex, magnesium and coenzyme Q10 with alpha-lipoic acid in your nutrition program.
