Concentrated lipoic acid formula • Helps promote healthy glucose metabolism • Supports antioxidant activity • Provides 600 mg of lipoic acid per daily dose • Ideal for vegans • Enhanced formula • Offers a greater amount of lipoic acid per capsule (600 mg vs. 350 mg) • Magnesium stearate-free Super Lipoic Acid offers 600 mg of lipoic acid per capsule to support healthy glucose metabolism and antioxidant defense. As an antioxidant in both its oxidized and reduced forms, lipoic acid can scavenge free radicals, regenerate endogenous antioxidants (such as glutathione and vitamins C and E), and bind metal ions to reduce metal-induced oxidative damage.1 This unique water- and fat-soluble antioxidant can also protect pancreatic β-cells from oxidative stress damage.2 Because it supports antioxidant defense through a variety of actions in nearly all parts of the cell, it is known as the "universal antioxidant."1,3 In addition, lipoic acid helps boost glucose uptake by increasing the number of GLUT4 glucose transporters on cell membranes, which promotes healthy glucose metabolism.2 In a randomized placebo-controlled trial, daily supplementation with 300 mg of lipoic acid promoted healthy glucose metabolism, as evidenced by reduced fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance.4 Furthermore, consuming 600 mg of lipoic acid daily for at least three months significantly reduced oxidative stress in adults, as measured by a marker of lipid peroxidation.5 References 1.
