Product Details
Brand: Doc Frank

Alpha-lipoic Acid (aka ALA) is a potent antioxidant that is found in every cell of the body.

Uses: It helps turn glucose into energy. It is one of the best antioxidants to reverse free radical damage. Its ability to kill free radicals may help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, who have pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in arms and legs from nerve damage. It reduces high blood sugar, leading to increased energy levels, and enhances insulin sensitivity. Scientists believe that alpha-lipoic acid helps lower blood sugar by promoting processes that can remove fat that has accumulated in muscle cells, which otherwise makes insulin less effective. ALA has also been linked with reducing the activity of the enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Suppressing AMPK activity may increase the number of calories your body burns at rest, and reduce your overall feeling of hunger.

Composition:

  • Alpha-lipoic Acid (R & S isomers, 1:1) - 250mg
  • Bioperine - 15 mg
  • D-Ribose - 125 mg

Directions: Adults & children over 12 years: Take 1 capsule twice daily before eating, or as directed by your health professional. Children under 12 years: Take half the adult dose or as directed by your wellness provider.

Safety: Rarely, ALA may cause a mild skin rash. Use with caution if you are taking thyroid medication. Diabetes: Beware of the glucose-lowering effects of ALA. Safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding not established. Avoid if allergic to any of the ingredients. No interaction with warfarin.
