Bio-Lipoic Acid by Pharma Nord from £15.32

Alpha Lipoic Acid (also known as thioctic acid) is a vitamin-like antioxidant, which is produced naturally in the body in small amounts. Alpha-lipoic acid is mainly obtained from the diet, red meat, spinach and brewer’s yeast being good sources. Alpha-lipoic acid acts in conjunction with the B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid to convert sugars and fat into energy within the body. The body converts some alpha-lipoic acid into di-hydrolipoic acid. Both are powerful antioxidants. Alpha-lipoic acid is known as the ‘universal antioxidant’, as it protects both the aqueous (water) and lipid (fat) compartments of cells from free radical damage.Bio-Lipoic Acid

Free radicals are chemicals, which are created by our own metabolism, but can also be generated by exposure to environmental pollution, smoking, alcohol, UV light, etc. Alpha-lipoic acid also speeds the removal of glucose from the bloodstream, enhancing insulin function and reducing insulin resistance. Alpha-Lipoic Acid is available only in one form. Therefore, it is the way the product is manufactured that makes the difference. Bio-Lipoic acid is manufactured to pharmaceutical standard, and gives excellent bio-availability (absorption). The raw materials comply with government regulations in the EC and Scandinavia. Testing ensures that the raw materials are in accordance with their certificates of analysis.
