WHAT IS IT?
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is sometimes called thioctic acid, an antioxidant derived from potatoes. Each tablet contains 100 mg or 300 mg. No fillers are listed.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
"Alpha Lipoic is a powerful antioxidant which works with other nutrients such as vitamins E, C and glutathione to defend against excessive free radicals. It is called a universal antioxidant because it is soluble in both water and lipid based tissue. Moreover, the body uses it in many other ways, including food metabolism and energy production. What makes Alpha Lipoic Acid so versatile is the two sulfur atoms that are part of each molecule."
CAUTIONS
Diabetics may experience hypoglycemia from increased glucose utilization. Very high doses may cause gastrointestinal upset. High doses also compete with biotin and a source of
biotin should also be taken (found in
