What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Alpha Lipoic Acid, also known simply as Lipoic acid, is a vitamin-like compound that has been a popular antioxidant for over 60 years. Antioxidants are important as they fight free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage body cells and lead to many serious illnesses including heart disease and strokes.

A small amount of Alpha Lipoic Acid can be found naturally occurring in many sources of food, especially spinach, broccoli, kidney and liver. As these foods are often not the most popular in a general day-to-day diet, you may find it useful to supplement your intake with pure alpha lipoic acid capsules.

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid used for?

Taking Alpha Lipoic Acid may bring you many health benefits, both for general wellbeing and for support of a healthy body and lifestyle. Alpha Lipoic Acid may also have a positive impact upon:

• Antioxidants: Many people choose alpha lipoic acid to supplement their own antioxidant’s fight against free radicals and support a healthy body.
• Glucose Processing: Alpha lipoic acid may present great health benefits that supports the way the body maintains glucose use.
• Energy Boosting: Alpha lipoic acid is made within the body and is a vital source of cell energy production. So supplementing the body’s own sources may provide nutrition for overall health.
• Vitamin Conservation: Naturally occurring Alpha lipoic acid may also help to conserve other vitamins in the body, including vitamin C and E.
