Description
Vitamin C
Powerful Antioxidant
Promotes Eye Health
Lipoic Acid Plus supplies alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a potent antioxidant and a critical cofactor for many enzyme complexes, along with vitamin C. As a powerful biological antioxidant, lipoic acid’s capability to quench free radicals is equivalent to that of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and vitamins C and E. In the body it functions as both a coenzyme, and a necessary component for normal mitochondrial function. ALA is unique in that it has activity in both fat and water-soluble tissues. ALA has demonstrated advantageous effects in supporting the cardiovascular system, biological energy production and glucose regulation.*
Features
- POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT: Best known as a powerful antioxidant, lipoic acid supports the body against free radical damage.
- SUPPORTS LIPID METABOLISM: Lipoic acid is critical for maintaining already healthy blood lipid levels by helping the body to use lipid. It also supports endocrine sensitivity, making it a key nutrient in supporting overall cardiovascular health.
- PROMOTING EYE HEALTH: Lipoic acid helps support optimal visual health by increasing antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase.

Lipoic Acid Plus Supplies Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA), a potent antioxidant and a critical cofactor for many enzyme complexes, along with vitamin C.* As a powerful biological antioxidant, Lipoic acid has exhibiting the capability to quench free radicals, equivalent to that of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and vitamins C and E. In the body, it functions as both a coenzyme and a necessary component for normal mitochondrial function. Unlike the actions of other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, which are restricted to aqueous tissues, and fatty tissues/membranes, respectively, ALA has activity in both fat and water-soluble tissues.
Taken orally, lipoic acid is readily absorbed into both the cellular and tissue systems. ALA has also demonstrated advantageous effects in supporting both the cardiovascular system and glucose dysregulation. In terms of cardiovascular support, as a consequence of both its antioxidant function and its metal-chelating ability, the actions of ALA have been associated with the inhibition of endothelial activation, signifying its potential benefit in delaying both arterial plaque buildup and negative cardiovascular events. Its activity in supporting glucose dysregulation has been demonstrated in numerous studies. Lipoic acid is also involved in biological energy production and has some heavy metal chelating properties as well.
Dosages
One (1) capsule three (3) times each day as a dietary supplement or as otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
