Alpha 25 With Vitamin C

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a very unique antioxidant because it is both fat and water-soluble. This makes it easily absorbed and transported across cell membranes. Alpha Lipoic Acid is an essential co-factor for a number of metabolic enzymes. It has been shown to help protect the liver and other organs, to help remove heavy metals from the body, to prevent damage from radiation, and has been used to treat diabetes, neuropathy (swelling and destruction of the nerve and nerve endings), macular degeneration and cataracts.

It is also believed to show promise for helping heart disease, cancer, inflammation, asthma and allergies. Alpha Lipoic Acid has been shown to speed recovery following heart attack and stroke as well as to prevent kidney stones from forming. It has been shown to protect brain, liver, heart and skin tissues against lipid peroxidation, to protect the blood from oxidative damage and to reduce viral activity in the body. Alpha Lipoic Acid also maximizes the benefits of Vitamin C by recharging it twice. Alpha Lipoic Acid’s overall effectiveness makes it one of the most exciting nutrients available.

Our formula also contains Calcium Ascorbate, a preferable, buffered form of Vitamin C. It is better retained than simple ascorbic acid and is not acidic due to the calcium buffering. Simple ascorbic acid can create a loss of calcium in the body’s effort to process it. Buffering allows your body to reap the benefits of Vitamin C without any net calcium loss. The Calcium Ascorbate not only provides Vitamin C, but also 130 mg of Calcium, for a total of 630 mg of Calcium Ascorbate.
