CSI Alpha Lipoic Acid Facial Complex with BioPerine® -- 60 Capsules

CSI Alpha Lipoic Acid Facial Complex with BioPerine® -- 60 Capsules

Provides a powerful combination of nutrients to promote younger-looking skin.   . How does CSI Alpha Lipoic Acid with BioPerine work? Known as the “universal antioxidant," alpha lipoic acid (ALA) promotes younger looking skin deep down at the cellular level. It helps protect skin cells from damage caused by free radicals, unstable molecules that can cause skin to age prematurely. Supplementing with alpha lipoic acid is important for healthy skin because it helps replenish the body’s supply of the nutrient, as amounts decrease with age. Also, alpha lipoic acid functions as an antioxidant only when it's present in excess. If there is diminished supply in your body, it will be used for energy production rather than antioxidant protection. Finally, it is difficult to obtain enough of the nutrient through diet alone. CSI Alpha Lipoic Acid also includes natural vitamin E, another skin-loving antioxidant. The natural form of vitamin E is up to three times more effective as an antioxidant, when compared to synthetic vitamin E. GLA, also known as Gamma-Linolenic Acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid, helps promote skin’s clarity, suppleness and luminosity. The addition of Bioperine®, a patented black pepper extract, helps the body better absorb and utilize all of these essential nutrients. Why choose CSI Alpha Lipoic Acid with BioPerine? Provides the powerful combination of alpha lipoic acid, vitamin E and GLA, nutrients known for enhancing skin’s health and appearance. Contains BioPerine® to help maximize the absorbency and utilization of these nutrients

"I too watched Dr. Perricone's informercial and was intrigued. Well, I purchased the CSI DMAE, Alpa Lipoic Acid, C ester, and the serum and let me tell you, I am seeing a difference. I have used the serum for about a month and the supplements for little over a week. The tiny lines under my eyes are smoothing out and the lines around my mouth are almost gone. I can't believe it. It is not a miracle, but there is mentionable visible improvement, so I am happy. Give it a try!"

"I threw this in my shopping cart just for the heck of it, since it was such a good value and I am glad I did. I believe this suppliment, combined with the cod liver oil and some other suppliments is responsible for how great my face is looking lately (normally I battle acne). My skin is glowing now, and people regularly guess me to be at least 10 years older than my age."

"I bought this because it is comparable to Dr. Perricone's formula which are highly recommended by organic skin care people - and because it was on sale! I will continue to use it if the price remains good as I know this is an important supplement for skin and joints. Can't honestly say I've noticed a difference."
