Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is naturally created in very minute levels in the human body, but it is also found in some foods. Because it can act in both water and fat environments, ALA is unusual. ALA increases glutathione synthesis and can recycle vitamins C and E, increasing their antioxidant activity. Furthermore, ALA may aid in the maintenance of healthy cerebral tissues, the promotion of normal glucose metabolism, and the support of healthy cardiovascular function. This additional strength product has 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid per capsule, compared to 100 mg in our usual strength product. Sabinsa Corporation owns the registered brand Bioperine. This product may have natural color variations. 1 pill daily, ideally with food.
