Answer
Alpha Lipoic acid is probably the most potent antioxidant you can take. I've been taking 250mg daily now for some time, and when I first started taking it, I noticed a slight drop in my blood pressure, and heightened sense of awareness. I take this in conjunction with my multi-v. Alpha Lipoic is known as a "recycler" meaning that it restores vitamins C and E. This is pretty general information, but I hope it proves useful.
Answer
I have the same positive experience and can say that only with this supplement have I been able to survive on 4 hours of sleep during the last 5 years. Mind you, I took a long break while I was nursing and when I tried one capsule again, my infant was highly agitated. Now the packages discourage the use during pregnancy and nursing. Makes you wonder what the long term effects will be. For now, though, I am glad that I am the only one in my family who is not plagued with high cholesterol or high blood pressure. We will see.
Answer
ALPHA LIPOIC is a powerful antioxidant that works with other nutrients such as vitamins C & E and gluththione to defend against excessive free radicals. It is called an universal antioxidant because it is soluble in both water and lipid based tissue.
ALPHA LIPOIC is used by the body to metabolize food and for energy production.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents free-radical damage.
