Alpha-Lipoic Acid 100 mg

Introduction

Alpha-lipoic acid was discovered in 1951,and has long been recognized as a coenzyme needed to break down sugar for energy production.It was not until 1988 that researchers realized that not only is alpha-lipoic acid itself a potent antioxidant,but the body converts some of it to dihydrolipoic acid,which posesses even greater antioxidant properties.The body id capable of making some alpha-lipoic acid,but id has been shown that it is unable to make enough to exercise its full antioxidant capabilities.Evidence suggests that the amount synthesized by the body is only adequate for metabolic function and the additional that id needed for antioxidant protection must come from the diet or suppalements.
