Book "Alpha Lipoic Acid Phenomenon" by Dr. Burt Berkson 204 S.KENAY

Today we struggle with being exposed to far more toxins than ever before. Our ancestors were not exposed to the chemicals that we now deal with every day in food, water and air. Well, that's probably why evolution hasn't allowed us to evolve the appropriate physiological mechanisms to get rid of excess accumulated pollutants. For example, we hear more and more often about the phenomenon of oxidative stress, i.e. a disturbed balance between negative external factors and the by-products of our own metabolic changes, i.e. free radicals (reactive oxygen species), and the ability to remove them from the body, i.e. the ability of the body to detoxify and repair the resulting damage.

In order to regain balance - among many other elements that make up a healthy lifestyle - we must nourish the body with everything that nourishes, protects and strengthens it.

Why should you consider Alpha Lipoic Acid?

- because the body produces less and less of it with increasing age and is a necessary link in the production of energy in the body

- because it is probably the only substance that is also hydrophilic (water-soluble) and lipophilic (fat-soluble) and thus gets everywhere and nourishes every tissue in the body.

- because it has a unique ability to recover and process other antioxidants such as vitamin C, E and glutathione. If one of them is performing its function and "runs out", ALA is able to make it usable again

- because it chelates (binds) and helps remove heavy metals (such as mercury) from the body. , arsenic , lead, aluminum)

- because it protects a healthy cell and the entire genome from the influence of free radicals.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is much more than just another fashionable supplement you can afford to buy over the counter at your local health food store!
