Nature's Sunshine  Alpha Lipoic:   NSP combines Lipoic Acid (ALA) with turmeric. Turmeric is a source of curcumin, a liver protecting antioxidant.

Most antioxidants are either water- or fat-soluble. Alpha lipoic acid is both, making its protective powers available to all cells in the body. Subsequently, ALA is often called the universal antioxidant, and it can protect the integrity of the cell membrane as well as offset cell stress. ALA protects the cell membrane and promotes mitochondrial activity to keep your body and its tissues young. It also helps support the body’s natural removal of toxins. ALA directs calories away from fat production and toward energy production. Each capsule provides 250 mg alpha lipoic acid.

 Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is often called the universal antioxidant. It is both fat- and water-soluble and can cross any membrane in the body  to protect all cells. Alpha Lipoic Acid also enhances the efforts of other antioxidants, helps support the body’s natural removal of metal toxins and offsets oxidative stress. In addition to its antioxidant properties, ALA directs calories away from fat production and toward energy production, supports blood sugar levels already within the normal range and enhances the nervous and cardiovascular
systems.

Scientific studies have shown that ALA enhances energy levels, protects neural cells from oxidative damage and helps maintain myocardial  unction.1 Studies in humans show that supplementation with lipoic acid causes a relevant increase in energy levels available  to the brain and skeletal muscle during exercise.2 ALA supplementation has also been shown to maintain blood pressure levels that are  already within the normal range.
