NSI Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 100 mg - 120 Capsules

Functions as a powerful antioxidant. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a vitamin-like compound with antioxidant properties. It promotes healthy cell function and may provide protective benefits against oxidative processes. ALA has been called the universal antioxidant. Besides neutralizing unstable free radical molecules in the body, ALA may boost glutathione (one of the body's most powerful antioxidants) levels in cells. ALA is also a co-factor for some of the key enzymes involved in generating energy from food and oxygen in mitochondria. It may enhance energy levels while also assisting the body with supporting healthy blood sugar levels. Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"This product is unique in that it free other antioxidants to continue doing their thing. I use this with fish oil because absorption is necessary. Natural Vitamin E has been found useful in the absorption of Alpha Lipoic Acid. When your body has a good balance of Natural Vitamins diffused throughout your blood you utilize all of the best you can get in supplements."

"This capsule almost seems too small to pack the 100 mg of ALA [Alpha Lipoic Acid] into it, but it does. It may be little, but it provides me with BIG Benefits---I feel better & healthier, with less daily aches & pains, & I have more energy. I recommend this low cost / high benefit supplement!"

Great Purchase for Price & Quality, July 31, 2007

Value:		5 out of 5
Quality:		5 out of 5
Effectiveness:		5 out of 5
Satisfaction:		5 out of 5

"My friends and I found out about this much needed anti-oxidant and looked for alternatives. NSI sounded good because it was natural and now we're really glad that we chose this brand. I live in the Philippines so we got together and combined resources to purchase and fortunately, time, money & effort hasn't been wasted at all.

NSI ALA makes one looks fresh even after a few hours (or none) of sleep, and fair or not gives one a rosy glow."

Effectiveness:		5 out of 5
Satisfaction:		5 out of 5

"I added alpha lipoic acid to my self-care regimen when I moved to CA's central valley. A lot of chemicals in the air from all the agriculture. I wanted to support my liver and my body with all the pollution in the air, too. I began taking ALA to help achieve this objective. Even though I no longer live there, I will continue taking it for its anti-oxidant benefits and every liver can always use a good friend."
