Alpha Lipoic 300 is a unique antioxidant that neutralises free radicals in both fat and water soluble tissues in the body.

Alpha Lipoic acid strengthens the body's antioxidant network by regenerating and prolonging the life of other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E and glutathione.

Alpha Lipoic acid helps maintain cellular uptake of sugar and assists sugar metabolism.

Alpha Lipoic acid supports energy production, blood vessel health and nervous system function.

Energy production

Alpha Lipoic 300 supports energy production. It is an essential

cofactor for coenzyme complexes involved in energy production,

playing a role in carbohydrate metabolism in the mitochondrial citric

acid cycle to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Glucose uptake

Alpha Lipoic 300 helps support the cellular uptake of glucose.

Alpha Lipoic acid plays a key role in the citric acid cycle, acting as

a coenzyme for pyruvate and a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase to

regulate glucose metabolism and regulates insulin sensitivity.

Nerve health

Alpha Lipoic 300 supports nervous system function and nerve health.

Due to the potent antioxidant effect of alpha Lipoic acid, it can reduce

free radical damage to the peripheral nerves.

Blood vessel health

Alpha Lipoic 300 maintains blood vessel health.

Blood vessels are lined with vascular endothelial cells which form the

physical barrier between blood and the vessel wall and play a role in

vasodilation and constriction.

Mild migraines

In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 54 migraine

patients with and without aura were given 600mg/day of ALA for 3

months. The group receiving ALA reported a reduction in migraine

attack frequency, headache days and headache severity compared

to placebo4.
