Super Lipoic Acid provides 600 mg of lipoic acid per capsule to support healthy glucose metabolism and antioxidant defense. Lipoic acid, which is an antioxidant in both its oxidized and reduced forms, can scavenge free radicals, regenerate endogenous antioxidants (such as glutathione and vitamins C and E), and bind metal ions to reduce metal-induced oxidative stress. This unique water- and fat-soluble oxidant may also protect beta cells from damage caused by oxidative stress. Because it supports antioxidant defense through multiple actions in almost every part of the cell, it is recognized as the “universal antioxidant.” Additionally, lipoic acid stimulates glucose assimilation by increasing the number of GLUT4 glucose transporters on cell membranes, which promotes healthy glucose metabolism. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, daily supplementation of 300 mg of lipoic acid promoted healthy glucose metabolism, as demonstrated by reductions in fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance. Additionally, consuming 600 mg of lipoic acid per day for at least three months significantly reduced oxidative stress in adults as measured by a marker of lipid peroxidation.
