Product Details:

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA, thioctic acid) is
a naturally occurring vitamin-like nutrient that has been intensely investigated
as a beneficial agent for a variety of bodily functions involving the nervous,
cardiovascular, immune, and detoxification systems. It exists as two enantiomers
or stereoisomers: R-(+)-lipoic acid (RLA) and S-(-)-lipoic acid (SLA). It is
produced in small amounts in the liver and other body tissues, where it is
needed by enzymes to catalyze numerous essential chemical reactions in the body.
For instance, ALA is essential inside the mitochondria of cells, where it is
needed to metabolize glucose and direct calories into energy production.
ALA is considered to be a multimodal supplement because, aside from its
enzymatic role in energy production, it acts by multiple mechanisms and displays
diverse health-enhancing and antioxidant properties. Recently discovered is
ALAs ability to regulate several genes linked to cell survival and oxidative
stress. Therefore, in addition to its enzymatic role, ALA is a powerful
antioxidant and performs a number of other vital functions related to its
ability to modify the expression of various genes. Supplementing with ALA is,
therefore, not so much a direct benefit to cells, but rather an indirect aid
that effectively "kick starts" declining function, helping cells recover
functionality that came more easily and naturally in youth.*
