Clinical Applications
- Provides Fat-Soluble and Water-Soluble Antioxidant Protection
- Protects the Neurovascular System from Free Radical Damage
- Supports Blood Sugar Balance Already Within Normal Levels
- Regenerates Vitamins C and E
- Increases Intracellular Glutathione Levels
With its potent antioxidant properties, research has shown K-ALA Wellness strongly supports the neurovascular system and overall circulatory and blood vessel health. As a short-chain fatty acid, K-ALA Wellness 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 K-ALA Wellness readily crosses the blood-brain barrier after absorption in the small intestine. It then undergoes distribution via systemic circulation. Once inside the tissues, K-ALA Wellness 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. K-ALA Wellness also serves as a sulfur donor, which allows it to support detoxification pathways that require this nutrient.
Supportive of a wide variety of health-related issues, ALA recharges vitamin E, vitamin C, glutathione and CoQ10, 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 K-ALA Wellness to support blood sugar balance already within normal levels. This formulation of Lipoic Acid contains 300 mg of K-ALA Wellness and 300 mcg of biotin to protect against loss of biotin as a result of competition between the two.
