Alpha Lipoic Acid Benefits

Benefits And Uses For Alpha Lipoic Acid:

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an Antioxidant produced by the body and used to immunize and detoxify the body, fight cancer cardiovascular diseases and other illnesses, regulate genetic code, slow aging and repair damaged tissue.  ALA is showing promise in treatment of diabetes, anti-aging studies, and as a preventative to many diseases.  For more information, here are the best-selling books on Alpha Lipoic Acid Benefits

Deficiency Symptoms Of Alpha Lipoic Acid:

Since it's produced by the body, ALA deficiency has not been linked to any symptoms.

Toxicity (Overdose) Symptoms Of Alpha Lipoic Acid:

Foods High In Alpha Lipoic Acid:

While all plant and animal foods contain Alpha Lipoic Acid,  Here are some that are particularly high:  Beef organ meats, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, peas, Brussels sprouts, rice bran. 

Supplements Of Alpha Lipoic Acid:

If you're receiving medical treatment or taking medicine for any condition, particularly diabetes or hypoglycemia, consult your doctor before supplementing with ALA.  Always choose a well-known reputable supplier who uses concentrated plant materials for the supplement.  Some studies have shown the natural form of ALA (r-alpha lipoic acid or r lipoic acid) to be as much as 10 times as useful to the body as the synthetic forms.  Here are the most popular sources of Alpha and R Lipoic Acid Supplements
