Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant found in every cell, which helps turn glucose into energy. It has been approved by Health Canada as an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health and helps promote healthy glucose metabolism. Alpha lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant because it is both fat and water soluble, unlike many other antioxidants out there such as vitamin C (only water soluble) or vitamin E (only fat soluble)…

In several studies, alpha lipoic acid has been shown to decrease the blood sugar level. This decrease in blood glucose is likely to be synchronized with an increase in glucose uptake into cells. It has also been suggested that alpha lipoic acid may help regenerate other antioxidants.

Coenzyme Q10 is a compound found naturally in every Cell of the body and serves as a vital nutrient for the cell’s mitochondria, the energy-producing center of the cells.

Coenzyme Q10 boosts energy, enhances the immune system, and is a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals, damaging compounds in the body that alter cell membranes, tamper with the DNA, and cause cell death. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (such as cigarette smoke and air pollution) can also increase the number of these damaging particles. Free radicals are believed to contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health issues, including heart disease and cancer.

Antioxidants such as Coenzyme Q10 can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
