Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 A little something I found intresting in a new book that I bought. I think I will get a bottle of this. Antioxidant Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant-both on its own and as a " recycler " OF Vitamin E and C. It can restore the antioxidant properties of these vitamins after they have neutralized free radicals. ALA also stimulates the body's production of glutathione and aids in the absorption of coenzyme Q10, both important antioxidants. Because ALA is soluable in both water and fat , it can move into all parts of cells to deactivate free radicals. Supplemental ALA has been used for almost 3 decades in Europe to treat perioheral nerve degeneration and to help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It also helps to detoxify the liver of metal pollutants ,block cataract formation,protect nerve tissues against oxidative stress and reduce blood cholesterol levels. According to Lester Packer PHD Professor of Molecular and cell Biology at the University of California-Berkley and a leading researcher.
