Alpha lipoic acid boosts the activity of other antioxidants in the body and is a popular alternative when antioxidants are in short supply. For example, Alpha lipoic acid can be used as a temporary supplement if the body’s stores of vitamins C and E are low. Because alpha lipoic acid can cross the blood-brain barrier and help reverse the adverse effects of stroke. alpha lipoic acid also helps maintain normal blood sugar levels and prevent serious complications of diabetes. alpha lipoic acid is widely distributed in nature and is especially abundant in liver and yeast and also in foods with B vitamins.
Functions:
1. Anti-oxidant: prevent the formation of free radical;
2. Help reverse the adverse effects of stroke;
3. Maintain blood glucose and prevent diabetes.
