Colorado Nutrition Acetyl Carnitine & Alpha Lipoic Formula 120 Vcaps

Colorado Nutrition® Acetyl L-Carnitine & Alpha-Lipoic Acid contains two critical nutrients, acetyl L-carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid, to support your vital metabolic functions. These compounds support the body's own system for the maintenance of cell function as we age.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that is soluble in both fat and water. It directly recycles vitamin C and indirectly recycles vitamin E, providing additional antioxidant protection. It is also an important component in the energy production process in the cells. Alpha-lipoic acid is a coenzyme that assists in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-coA. Acetyl-coA is the beginning point for the Krebs cycle, one of the body’s main energy production cycles, which produces the high-energy molecule ATP. Alpha-lipoic acid supports the immune system and also supports healthy liver function.

Alpha Lipoic Acid and Diabetes

Alpha Lipoic Acid is prescribed in Germany for adult onset of diabetes. There it has been shown to help for the following reasons:

• Alpha Lipoic Acid increases the sugar burning ability of insulin
• Alpha Lipoic Acid decreases insulin resistance
• Alpha Lipoic Acid increases ATP production
• Alpha Lipoic Acid decreases the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy

Recommended supplementation for diabetic neuropathy is 800mg/day

Preserve brain function in aging adults. Results from animal studies indicate that alpha-lipoic acid may improve long-term memory. Much remains to be learned about whether this occurs in humans, but it may be worth trying this powerful antioxidant when a disease such as Alzheimer's starts to erode memory. In addition, alpha-lipoic acid holds promise for preserving brain cells following a stroke or other type of trauma that restricts blood flow to the brain.
