One of the leading causes of cellular breakdown is free radical damage and antioxidants are crucial to help protect against these deleterious effects. Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) is an effective antioxidant that can access all parts of living cells, giving it the ability to trap free radicals and protect against oxidation.* [1]
ALA constitutes an equal proportion of the R-(natural) and S-(unnatural) enantiomers that are mirror images of each other, also called a ‘racemic’ mixture.* [1,2] Studies show that ALA has the ability to regenerate vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, glutathione, and vitamin E.* [3,4] Unlike ascorbic acid, DHLA can be recycled from ALA, and therefore is not destroyed by quenching free radicals.* [1,2]
Based on one study, there is a suggestion that ALA may reduce the amount of biotin in the body and hence biotin is added to this formulation to potentially alleviate biotin deficiency.* [5]
ALA SAP can
- Help improve antioxidants status in the body for optimal health.* [1,2]
- Help regenerate vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, glutathione, and vitamin E.* [3,4,5]
