Alpha-lipoic acid is an
antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell, where
it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants are substances that
attack "free radicals," which are dangerous waste products created when
the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical
reactions that can damage cells in the body, making it harder for the
body to fight off infections. They also damage organs and tissues.
Unlike other antioxidants, which work only in water (such as vitamin C)
or fatty tissues (such as vitamin E), alpha-lipoic acid is both fat- and
water-soluble. That means it can work throughout the body. In addition,
antioxidants are depleted as they attack free radicals, but evidence
suggests alpha-lipoic acid may help regenerate these other antioxidants
and make them active again.
In the cells of the body, alpha-lipoic acid is converted into
dihydrolipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid is not the same as alpha linolenic
acid, which is an omega-3 fatty acid that may help heart health (See
also: Alpha linolenic acid. Confusion can arise because both are
sometimes abbreviated ALA.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is also a key component in the metabolic process, and can help
decrease fat storage in your body by directing calories into energy production.
It improves the action of insulin, which increases glucose, amino acid and
nutrient uptake in muscle cells. This could mean increased energy production in
your muscles, as well as significantly better and faster results from your
workouts.

We guarantee our
supplements to be the freshest and purest:
The majority of
NutraBio products contain absolutely no fillers or excipients unless
absolutely necessary for the manufacturing of the particular
product. Our alpha lipoic acid is one of the few exceptions. This
product is extremely hygroscopic and absorbs moisture very easily
causing it to clump up and harden, so we have to add fractional amounts of silica and magnesium stearate. We do not like
to use these excipients, but in this case we must in order to run
the product. We use the least amount of excipients as possible in
all cases so that we can guarantee you the purest product available.

Truthful and Clear Supplement Facts Panels - No BS Proprietary Blends:
A proprietary blend is a cheap gimmick used by manufacturers to hide the real truth about what's in their product. By listing a bunch of ingredients under one blend on the label, the manufacturer only has to tell you how much of the blend is in a serving while hiding how much of each ingredient is in a serving. They pretend to this to protect their secret formula, that’s bull, they do it so they can cheapen their product without their customers knowing. In the industry we call this “Window Dressing” the product the label looks good on the outside but there is nothing really happening on the inside. At NutraBio our Supplement Facts panels list the exact amount of each and every active ingredient in the supplement. No guessing, you know exactly what you are getting in every product we sell.

Since we manufacture all of our own products we can control the quality and purity through the entire manufacturing process. We never sell old or near expired products.
