Product Overview
Alpha lipoic acid, often termed “the universal antioxidant” can provide health benefits that are nothing short of remarkable. Alpha lipoic acid is a fatty acid that is found inside every cell in our body. It is required by the body to produce energy and converts glucose into energy. It is also a very powerful fat and water-soluble antioxidant and has been nicknamed “the universal antioxidant” because of its ubiquitous actions in our bodies. What makes alpha lipoic acid truly unique is its ability to recycle other antioxidants like C and E, keeping them in the body for a longer period of time.
Clinical research shows that alpha lipoic acid offers protection against an aging brain, declining memory, strokes, heart disease, cancer and photodamage to the skin. An exceptionally potent free radical fighter, alpha lipoic acid has the unique ability to help rev up mental and physical energy. It shows promise in helping repair brain cells and to slow progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
According to researchers, alpha lipoic acid has unique abilities to enter the brain, and can work wonders in rejuvenating the mind and body. It has shown promising evidence in studies that it may be able to restore short-term memory, reduce age-related decay of brain cells and increase physical activity. Scientists believe that alpha lipoic acid benefits brain functioning by preventing or repairing damage to brain cell mitochondria, and by chelating, or removing, toxic iron from aged brain cells. It is even more potent in combination with acetyl-L-carnitine.
In addition to functioning as a powerful antioxidant in all cells of the body, alpha lipoic acid also has the ability to mitigate the harmful effects of high blood sugar on the body, by reducing glycation. Glycation is a process in the body where sugars bind to protein molecules and cause tissue damage. This occurs throughout our bodies as we age and is a significant factor in the aging process. This makes alpha lipoic acid an even more powerful weapon in the fight for optimal health. Alpha lipoic acid has also been associated with improvements in blood sugar control, brain function, liver health and other age-related conditions.
We are proud to offer a high potency, premium grade Alpha Lipoic Acid formula. Each vegetarian capsule provides 250 mg of pure alpha lipoic acid for maximum antioxidant support.

Whether you take our premium products or those from another company, we strongly encourage to you to be sure to know where they are manufactured. If the bottle label doesn't say "Made in the USA", they are most likely not. Our manufacturing facilities are located in California, Illinois and Florida.

Every single active ingredient contained in this formula is backed by multiple clinical research studies. We have done our homework, and we are proud to detail below the clinical research data that supports the inclusion of every active ingredient in this formula.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
A powerful antioxidant itself, alpha lipoic acid increases the antioxidant activity of vitamin C and vitamin E. It has been shown to improve skin tone and appearance by reducing the oxidative effects of photodamage. (Int J Cosmet Sci. 2002 Dec;24(6):331-9.)
Dr. Lester Packer of the University of Southern California, calls alpha lipoic acid a "universal" antioxidant that offers protection against an aging brain, declining memory, strokes, heart disease, cancer and cataracts.
According to researchers, alpha lipoic acid has unique abilities to enter the brain, and can work wonders in rejuvenating the mind and body. (Redox Rep. 2005;10(1):52-60.) It has shown promising evidence in studies that it may be able to restore short-term memory, reduce age-related decay of brain cells and increase physical activity (FASEB J. 1999 Feb;13(2):411-8., Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2002 Apr;959:491-507.) Alpha lipoic acid has also been used successfully to treat Alzheimer's disease. Scientists believe that alpha lipoic acid benefits brain functioning by preventing or repairing damage to brain cell mitochondria, and by chelating, or removing, toxic iron from aged brain cells. (Pharmacol Ther. 2007 Jan;113(1):154-64., Redox Rep. 2005;10(1):52-60., Neurochem Res. 2008 Jan;33(1):194-203.) It is even more potent in combination with acetyl-l-carnitine. (Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2002 Apr;959:491-507; and Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2002 Feb 19;99(4):2356-61.)
In high doses (200-600 mg daily), alpha lipoic acid is used to prevent and lessen the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. It has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. (http://www.jabfm.org/cgi/content/abstract/16/1/47)
