Overview

Doctor’s Best Alpha-Lipoic Acid 600mg 60 Capsules
What is Alpha-Lipoic Acid?
‘The universal antioxidant’ Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing fatty acid that performs vitamin-like roles in the body. 
It functions as a co-enzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates and is required for synthesis of acetyl CoA, a key metabolite in the cellular process that turns glucose (blood sugar) into energy. 
Because the body produces alpha-lipoic acid on its own, it is not classified as a true vitamin. 
But as with other non-essential nutrients, internal production may not always be optimal.
Benefits:
