NSI Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 600 mg - 60 Capsules

Promotes healthy cell function and may boost energy levels! Functions as a powerful antioxidant! 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. One of the most beneficial effects of ALA is its ability to regenerate other essential antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione. 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 maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. We submitted popular alpha lipoic acid products for independent lab analysis. . 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.

"I really like the product but am researching what an effective dosage is. I think I read something about 200 mg being recommended. I find that my urine smells pretty acrid almost immediately after taking. I don't know if that's normal or if it's the excess being eliminated."

"I purchased this product for clearer and younger looking skin. I feel it has worked. It gives me a clearer and cleaner complexion. I have reordered this several times. I have read several articles on how Lipoic Acid is great for your skin and I try to order only NSI products. I have read it's also effective in maintaining a healthy weight. I will continue with this product."

"I just started using this today. I have purchased this from another supplier in the past so it is not new to me. I can only give it the 4 stars on some of the catergories since I just started with this particular brand. This is actually a higher dosage than what we had been taking but again as with the other products I have purchased from Vitacost.....much better price!"
