Alpha Lipoic Acid 300mg, Natural Antioxidant Formula to Support Glucose Metabolism Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar, ALA Fights Free Radicals, Gluten Dairy Free (120 Capsules) by The Vitamin Shoppe

A powerful, natural antioxidant that is both water and fat soluble. Alphalipoic acid helps regenerate other antioxidants back to their active states and assists in producing energy from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Antioxidants work in several ways: they may reduce the energy of the free radical, stop the free radical from forming in the first place, or interrupt an oxidizing chain reaction to minimize the damage caused by the free radicals. Antioxidants protect key cell components by neutralizing the damaging effects of "free radicals", highly reactive compounds created in the body during normal metabolic functions (such as when oxygen is metabolized, or burned by the body). These free radicals travel through cells, disrupting the structure of other molecules, causing cellular damage. Reducing exposure to free radicals and increasing intake of antioxidant nutrients has the potential to reduce the risk of free radicalrelated health problems. Consuming a wide variety of antioxidant enzymes, vitamins, minerals and herbs may be the best way to provide the body with the most complete protection against free radical damage - and one of the strongest natural defenses against the aging process. - At The Vitamin Shoppe, our private brands meet or exceed industry standards for quality through a rigorous testing process, so you can be confident in the products you buy, every time.
