Alpha Lipoic Acid

Due to its focus on breaking down carbohydrates to make energy, Alpha Lipoic Acid is found in many types of foods such as red meat, carrots, and potatoes. Commonly used to treat nerve pain, altitude sickness, and obesity, we love this antioxidant for its ability to keep our brains strong and liver healthy!

Alpha Lipoic Acid, Black Pepper

As a dietary supplement, take one capsule daily with a full glass of water, or as directed by your healthcare professional. For best results, we recommend using this supplement consistently for 30 days.

Alpha-lipoic acid as a dietary supplement: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential" - This review article, published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, provides an overview of the potential health benefits of alpha-lipoic acid as a dietary supplement. The study discusses several studies that suggest that alpha-lipoic acid may have neuroprotective effects, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
