Thioctic Lipioc Acid

Lipoic acid is a vitamin-like enzyme co-factor which can be produced in your body, but usually in insufficient amounts for optimal health. It is found in potatoes, carrots, yams, sweet potatoes, beets, & red meat. It is classified as ãessentialä because it is a vital component of the energy reactions that turn glucose into energy.*

Lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant with 2 unique characteristics not found in other antioxidants. First, it is both fat & water soluble allowing it to go anywhere in your body to carry out its function. Second, it has the power to enhance & restore other antioxidants such as vitamin C, E. beta carotene, & selenium, with a crucial benefit being its ability to regenerate the all-important glutathione.*

Lipoic acid has been solidly studied & the scientific evidence shows it:

• Is necessary for converting glucose into chemical energy.*
• Decreases insulin resistance (which is a major factor in diabetes, obesity, & heart disease.*
• Increases the efficiency of insulin.*
• In some cases has reversed neuropathy (a painful nerve degeneration.)*
• Improves nerve conduction.*
• Is helpful with chemical hypersensitivity syndrome.*
• Helps protect the liver when there is high alcohol intake.

• Protecs LDL cholesterol from oxidation. Oxidized LDL cholesterol tends to stick to the walls of arteries, resulting in plaque build up,*
• Protects tissues from damage associated with low oxygen supply such as following stroke, heart attack, trauma & surgery.*
