Composition:

Each Capsule contains 50 mg Alpha lipoic acid. 

Description and usage:

§ Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing fatty acid found inside every cell of the human body. Alpha lipoic acid plays a key role in variety vital energy-producing reactions in the body that turn glucose into energy.

§ Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent biological antioxidant that has been shown to slow the oxidative damage in cells, and in many cases stabilize or even reverse cell damage. Alpha-lipoic acid is so effective as an anti-oxidant because it works on both water and fat-soluble free radicals that cause oxidation and cell damage in the body.

§ Certain nerve diseases may occur as a result of free radical damage, Since alpha-lipoic acid can reach all parts of a nerve cell it can potentially protect nerve cells against such damage.

§ Alpha-lipoic acid may exhibit a renal protective effect in individuals with diabetes.

§ Alpha-lipoic acid increases glucose uptake in the cells and appears to reduce symptoms of diabetic complications including cataract formation, vascular damage, and polyneuropathy (nerve damage).

§ There is some evidence that alpha-lipoic acid may be helpful for cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Alpha-lipoic acid may prove useful in the treatment of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. As an antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid shields the liver from potentially harmful cell changes.

§ Because alpha-lipoic acid can pass easily into the brain, it has protective effects on brain and nerve tissue and shows promise as a treatment for stroke and other brain disorders involving free radical damage.
