Puritan's Pride Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 600 mg 60 Capsules

The Puritan's Pride Alpha Lipoic Acid dietary supplement contains up to 600 mg of a substance similar in structure to vitamins. Alpha lipoic acid is produced naturally in the human body, albeit in very small amounts. Therefore, it is advisable to obtain it externally.

Alpha lipoic acid is one of the omega-3 fatty acids, which are classified as essential fatty acids (EFAs). This means they are very important for maintaining normal human functions, but they must be supplied externally because they cannot be synthesized by the body due to the polyunsaturated bonds in their molecules.

Alpha lipoic acid has very powerful antioxidant properties. It has a broad spectrum of activity against inflammation and free radicals. Thanks to these properties, it is often used in anti-aging therapy. Due to its structure, ALA acid can act both in tissue and cells, making it a very versatile broad-spectrum antioxidant.

In summary, Puritan's Pride Alpha Lipoic Acid supplement is one of the most effective and versatile antioxidants on the market. It promotes the reduction of inflammation and slows the body's aging process.
