DIRECTIONS: Take 1-3 capsules per day, or as needed. High amounts of Alpha Lipoic Acid may deplete Biotin levels, therefore, 1-2 Montiff B-Complete or B-Long are

WHAT IS ALPHA LIPOIC ACID (ALA)? • A naturally occurring co-factor in the body, found most abundantly in red meat. • It exists in variety of locations in the body: intracellular, extra-cellular and membranes. • Many individuals have insufficient amounts. • Its reduced form is Dihyrolipoic Acid (DHLA), and it is essential for metabolic process of energy (ATP) from food. • A potent antioxidant that destroys more “free radicals ” than other antioxidants. • A chelator of heavy metal ions, such as copper and iron as well as toxic metal such as cadmium, lead and mercury. • Lessens oxidative damage caused by radiation exposure, and was used effectively in the former Soviet Union after the Chernobyl incident. • Being both water and fat-soluble makes it very bioavailable. • ALA (also known as thioctic acid) increases Glutathione levels in the cells, and enhances the activity of other antioxidants, especially E and C
