Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring, fat- and water-soluble antioxidant with potential therapeutic applications in metabolic, neurological, and general health conditions. It acts by neutralizing free radicals, regenerating other antioxidants, and improving mitochondrial function.

🌿 Adjunctive Use in Dyslipidemia and Metabolic Syndrome

• Used as a nutritional adjunct in patients with metabolic syndrome and hyperlipidemia to support lipid profile improvement and reduce oxidative stress associated with atherosclerosis.

🌿 Antioxidant Support in Chronic Conditions

• Recommended in patients with chronic diseases characterized by oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s), and chronic fatigue syndrome.

🌿 Liver Support in Hepatic Disorders

• Utilized as a hepatoprotective agent in fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and alcohol-induced liver injury by reducing hepatic oxidative stress and supporting liver enzyme balance.

🌿 Other Supportive & Adjunctive Uses

• In combination therapy for weight management in obesity and overweight patients
• For improving insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes mellitus
• As a skin brightening and anti-aging antioxidant in dermatological formulations
