As a short-chain fatty acid, ALA can both be absorbed by fatty tissues and maintain its solubility in water, allowing it to be easily excreted from the body when not needed. In addition, orally supplemented ALA readily crosses the blood-brain barrier after absorption in the small intestine. It then undergoes distribution via systemic circulation. Once inside the tissues, ALA can exert its antioxidant benefits both inside and outside the cells, including the cellular powerhouse, the mitochondria, where it functions as a coenzyme in several different biochemical pathways. ALA also serves as a sulfur donor, which allows it to support detoxification pathways that require this nutrient.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupportive of a wide variety of health-\u003cimg\u003erelated issues, ALA recharges vitamin E, vitamin C, glutathione and CoQ\u003csub\u003e10\u003c\/sub\u003e, and it directly quenches reactive oxygen species (ROS). Since it has water-soluble, fat-soluble and sulfhydryl properties, it can be utilized by many different bodily tissues in a variety of ways. Its unique chemical properties allow ALA to support blood sugar balance already within normal levels. This formulation of Lipoic Acid contains 300 mg of ALA and 300 mcg of biotin to protect against loss of biotin as a result of competition between the two.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e60 count\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vitality Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44640631226529,"sku":"","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/1174\/5953\/files\/LipoicAcid.jpg?v=1728656007","url":"https:\/\/shop.vitalitymedclinic.com\/products\/lipoic-acid","provider":"Vitality Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
