In the body it functions as both a coenzyme, and a necessary component for normal mitochondrial function. Unlike the actions of other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, which are restricted to aqueous tissues, and fatty tissues\/membranes, respectively, ALA has activity in both fat and water-soluble tissues. Taken orally, lipoic acid is readily absorbed into both the cellular and tissue systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nALA has also demonstrated advantageous effects in supporting both the cardiovascular system, and glucose dysregulation. In terms of cardiovascular support, as a consequence of both its antioxidant function, and its metal chelating ability, the actions of ALA have been associated with the inhibition of endothelial activation, signifying its potential benefit in delaying both arterial plaque buildup and negative cardiovascular events. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nLipoic acid is also involved in biological energy production, and has some heavy metal chelating properties as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Usage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdults:\u003c\/strong\u003e  One (1) capsule each day as a dietary supplement or as otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e1 capsule contains:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nVitamin C  50mg\u003cbr\u003e\r\n---(as calcium and magnesium ascorbate)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAlpha Lipoic Acid 100mg\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Cellulose, capsule shell (gelatin and water) and magnesium stearate (vegetable source). \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eContains NO:\u003c\/strong\u003e  gluten, dairy, GMOs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are pregnant or nursing, please consult your healthcare professional before using this product.  Keep out of the reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biotics Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52358884098348,"sku":"lipoic-acid-plus-BIR","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/0030\/0844\/files\/lipoic-acid-plus-BIR_main_1.jpg?v=1767908031","url":"https:\/\/www.nhc.com\/products\/lipoic-acid-plus-by-biotics-research","provider":"Natural Health Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
