Product Description
Alpha-lipoic acid (ala, thioctic acid) is a naturally occurring vitamin-like nutrient that has been intensely investigated as a therapeutic agent for a variety of conditions involving the body's nervous, cardiovascular, immune, and detoxification systems. it exists as two enantiomers or stereoisomers: r-(+)-lipoic acid (rla) and s-(-)-lipoic acid (sla). it is produced in small amounts in the liver and other body tissues, where it is needed by enzymes to catalyze numerous essential chemical reactions in the body. for instance, ala is essential inside the mitochondria of cells, where it is needed to metabolize glucose and direct calories into energy production.ala is considered to be a multimodal supplement because, aside from its enzymatic role in energy production, it acts by multiple mechanisms and displays diverse pharmacologic and antioxidant properties. recently discovered is ala's ability to switch the regulation of several genes linked to cell survival, inflammation and oxidative stress. so in addition to its enzymatic role, ala is a powerful antioxidant and performs a number of other vital functions related to its ability to modify the expression of various genes. ala is therefore not so much a direct benefit to cells, but rather an indirect aid that "kick starts" declining function in cells, helping them recover the functions that came more easily and naturally in the young.

I'm not a doctor , just a consumer, but I believe ALA provides support for your liver if you have cirrhosis. Plenty of documentation on the net if you want to know more. This brand seems as good as the Boots version.

Not sure I spelled "antiinflammitory" right, but you get the drift............I was having multiple issues with what I thought was the result of inflammation and nerve pain, possibly fibro myalgia. It's been getting progressively worse. I'm a law enforcement dispatcher, sit for 12 hours a shift, have 4 monitors to watch, 2 are elevated. Doctors pain meds and muscle relaxors were not doing the job. I did some research , added ALA and Tumeric to my daily vitamins. It seems to work, have not a fraction of the prob for the last few months.
Just sayin.....somethings working!
