Pure Encapsulations Alpha Lipoic Acid is a single-ingredient antioxidant supplement in capsule form. Alpha lipoic acid is both fat-soluble and water-soluble, so it works in cell membranes and in the water-based environment of blood plasma at the same time. It supports cell membranes, nerve tissue and the bloodstream.
Alpha lipoic acid is a compound the body produces in small amounts. This formula is synthesized to a minimum of 99% purity for consistent dosing. It helps recycle and extend the working life of other antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione. It also plays a role in turning fuel into usable energy in the muscles, supports glucose metabolism within an already healthy range, and provides ongoing nutritional support for the nervous system.
Take one capsule with a meal. If you take the 100 mg or 200 mg strength more than once a day, split the doses across meals.
