Health function: Antioxidants, Blood Sugar Metabolism

Alpha-lipoic acid is a nutritional coenzyme that is involved in energy metabolism of
proteins, carbohydrates and fats, has physiological functions in blood glucose disposal,
and is able to scavenge a number of free radicals.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a fat and water soluble, sulfur-containing coenzyme. It functions in
the body much like a B-vitamin, since it is involved in energy production. Due to its unique
sulfur-containing structure, alpha-lipoic acid can scavenge several types of free radicals,
such as the gighly reactive hydroxyl, and singlet oxygen free redicals. Because alpha-
lipoic acid is involved in so many different antioxidant functions in virtually all body
tissues, it has been called the universal antioxidant.
Suggested use: Adults take 1 tablet twice daily with meals, or as directed by physician.
