Antioxidant with dual action, demonstrated at all tissue, membrane, and cellular mitochondria levels.

Alpha Lipoic Sustain® is in a special Sustain™ format with two layers: Quick Release/Sustained Release to maximize and sustain blood levels and to minimize gastric irritation and blood sugar fluctuations. Alpha lipoic acid is a unique lipid-soluble and water-soluble antioxidant that is a cofactor in energy production, helping to regulate glucose metabolism. ALA also promotes glutathione synthesis, a critical component of the body's endogenous antioxidant network. Biotin is added for optimal ALA activity.

A dietary supplement, recommended as a metabolic antioxidant with a role in maintaining the optimal functioning of the nervous system, cerebral activity and the cardiovascular system. Alpha Lipoic Sustain (thioctic acid) is a substance naturally found in the body, involved in the energy metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, having a strong antioxidant action.

Alpha lipoic acid helps protect the body's cells and tissues from free radical damage, improves endothelial function and blood flow at the brain, cardiac, and peripheral level. Alpha lipoic acid contributes to maintaining a normal body weight, normalizes the level of oxygen use in muscles and maintains a high general tone. It plays an essential role in the biochemical processes of energy production in mitochondria, increasing ATP production (adenosine triphosphate).




 

Alpha Lipoic Sustain Benefits

 

• supports the balance of free radical levels (reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, including hydroxyl radical), both through its own antioxidant properties and through the ability to support and reactivate other antioxidants (e.g. vitamins E, C, coenzyme Q10, glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and ascorbate reductase)
• maintains redox processes within normal limits; supports energy production in cell mitochondria (promotes ATP production, nucleotides that store and transport chemical energy in cells)
• supports the proper functioning of the cardiovascular and cerebral systems by maintaining the normal rate of the lipid peroxidation process
• chelates heavy metals from tissues by forming stable complexes, easy to eliminate
• maintains normal blood glucose levels; supports insulin receptor sensitivity and glucose metabolism
• maintains the integrity and functions of peripheral nerves, offering support in limiting the appearance of manifestations such as tingling, fasciculations, numbness, sensitivity changes, burning sensation at the level of the soles, etc.
• supports normal carbohydrate metabolism and balances the manifestations associated with high blood glucose concentrations over prolonged periods, by limiting the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
• maintains the process of transmitting the nerve impulse to muscles; supports a normal level of acetylcholine
• favors communication between neurons involved in an ischemic process; crosses the blood-brain barrier and maintains the structure of cells against the action of free radicals
• maintains a normal blood flow at the cerebral, cardiac, and peripheral level; supports the integrity of the vascular endothelium and vascular relaxation
• supports the integrity of the hepatic cell membrane against the action of exogenous disruptive factors
