Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 60 Veggie Caps

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a vitamin-like antioxidant discovered in 1988. While not a true vitamin since the body can produce it, ALA is often considered critical for its health-protective role. Known as “the king of free radical fighters,” ALA is unique as the only antioxidant that is both fat and water soluble. Free radicals, unstable molecules that damage body tissues, are generated by pollution, cigarette smoke, alcohol, stress, and more. Given our constant exposure to these harmful agents, the need for powerful antioxidants like ALA is essential.

ALA stands out because it crosses cell membranes, protecting proteins and DNA from oxidative damage. Inside the cell, it converts to dihydrolipoic acid, a potent antioxidant that neutralizes dangerous radicals like superoxide and hydroxyl radicals encountered through everyday activities and environmental exposure. Unlike most antioxidants, which offer only external cellular protection, ALA provides internal defense, enhancing the body’s ability to combat oxidative stress.

As we age, the body’s ability to produce and recycle antioxidants like vitamins E, C, and coenzyme Q-10 diminishes. ALA helps regenerate these antioxidants, extending their activity. It improves nerve conduction, blood flow, and has been studied for its role in blood sugar regulation, liver health, and heavy metal detoxification. CanPrev’s Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 delivers a therapeutic dose of 600 mg of stable ALA, supported by thiamine and biotin to prevent deficiencies and ensure optimal absorption. Combining these nutrients allows them to work synergistically, maximizing ALA's benefits safely.
