Pure Encapsulations Alpha Lipoic Acid 100 mg | ALA Supplement for Liver Support, Antioxidants, Nerve and Cardiovascular Health, Free Radicals, and Carbohydrate Support* | 60 Capsules

Alpha lipoic acid is water soluble which allows it to function in almost any part of the body as an antioxidant. A key component of the metabolic process, alpha lipoic acid produces energy in muscles and directs calories into energy production. In addition, it helps maintain healthy carbohydrate metabolism, supports the nervous system and provides nutritional support for healthy liver function. In one study, alpha lipoic acid decreased serum lactate and pyruvate and promoted healthy carbohydrate metabolism in lean and overweight individuals. Alpha lipoic acid supported nerve health in subjects who participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. The ability of alpha lipoic acid to modulate nitric oxide metabolite activity and to promote healthy microcirculation accounted for its ability to promote nerve cell health in two separate studies.
