About this supplement

New Roots Herbal Alpha Lipoic Acid supplies 250 mg of alpha-lipoic acid per capsule. It is an antioxidant with an unusual quality: it is active in both the fatty and the watery parts of cells, where vitamin E covers only the fat-soluble side and vitamin C only the water-soluble side. It is also described as helping to recycle vitamin C, glutathione and coenzyme Q10.

Alpha-lipoic acid was first identified in 1951 and serves as a coenzyme in the Krebs cycle, part of how cells produce energy. Each non-GMO vegetable capsule contains only the active ingredient plus vegetable magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose.

Highlights

A POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT THAT FIGHTS FREE RADICALS

  • Directly recycles and extends the metabolic life spans of vitamin C, glutathion and coenzyme Q10
  • First line of defense against free radicals
  • Enhances insulin function and reduces insulin resistance
  • Non GMO

Alpha-Lipoic acid may be one of the most important antioxidants available that also recycle vitamin C. alpha-Lipoic acid should be part of your first line of defense against free radicals.

If its essential role in health is any indication, alpha-lipoic acid may very well join the ranks of vitamins C and E as part of your first line of defense against free radicals. Discovered in 1951, it serves as a coenzyme in the Krebs cycle and in the production of cellular energy. In the late 1980s, researchers realized that alpha-lipoic acid had been overlooked as a powerful antioxidant. Over the past few years, the pace of research on lipoic acid has increased dramatically. Several qualities distinguish alpha-lipoic acid from other antioxidants, and it has been described at various times as the “universal,” “ideal,” and “metabolic” antioxidant. It neutralizes free radicals in both the fatty and watery regions of cells, in contrast to vitamin C (which is water-soluble) and vitamin E (which is fat-soluble).
