Alpha Lipoic Acid

CanPrev’s Alpha Lipoic Acid provides a therapeutic 600 mg dose of a safe and stable form of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). ALA is a very important antioxidant and is often called ‘the king of free radical fighters’. The need for powerful antioxidants in our day to day lives is extremely important as we are constantly exposed to very large amounts of free radicals. This is where ALA comes in, as it is easily absorbed through the walls of our cell membranes and is able to protect against free radical oxidative damage to the proteins and DNA structures inside our cells. Most antioxidants are unable to cross the cell wall.

As we get older we produce less of our own antioxidants and we are less and less able to make and recycle key antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin C and co-enzyme Q-10. ALA is really unique because it actually regenerates these and other antioxidants, helping them to stay longer in the body and continue their work neutralizing free radicals. ALA improves nerve conduction and blood flow and it reduces oxidative stress. ALA has been studied with respect to heavy metal detoxification, blood sugar control, liver ailments and more. Some argue that Alpha Lipoic Acid is the most important antioxidant ever discovered. Sounds like something we should all take note of!

The formula is supported with thiamine and biotin, as these nutrients in particular can either be deficient or compete with each other for absorption into cells. Studies show that those with thiamine deficiencies can experience toxic side effects if high doses of ALA are taken without the support of thiamine. A biotin deficiency can occur due to high dosing with ALA as they both seem to compete with each other to get across the cell wall. ALA usually wins out and a deficiency can occur unless extra biotin is taken. Combining them into one formula ensures they work as equal partners instead of contenders.
