Alpha Lipoic Acid

Description

An important antioxidant that supports neurological‚ eye‚ cognitive‚ and liver health

Alpha-Lipoic Acid supports liver detoxification‚ has important nerve-protective effects‚ and helps maintain mental sharpness. It is an antioxidant in both water-soluble and fat-soluble tissues.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) has historically been used to mitigate toxic insults to the liver. ALA is also a nutrient cofactor involved in mitochondrial function‚ thus supporting energy production in the cells. Studies indicate that a higher amount of alpha-lipoic acid – 600-1‚800 mg daily – is most effective for neurological support and helping to maintain mental sharpness. Thorne’s Alpha-Lipoic Acid provides 300 mg of ALA per capsule. In addition to being an important antioxidant in both fat-soluble and water-soluble tissues‚ alpha-lipoic acid also helps recycle other antioxidants‚ including glutathione‚ another essential antioxidant for liver detoxification.
