Alpha-Lipoic Acid & N-Acetyl Cysteine, 30 capsules

The antioxidant complex is a source of alpha-lipoic acid and N-acetylcysteine. Assists the body in sustaining an elevated level of antioxidant defense, thus aiding in the prevention of premature aging.

• N-acetylcysteine
  N-acetylcysteine is an additional form of L-cysteine, a semi-essential amino acid that has several important functions:
  • Acts as a building material for proteins;
  • Binds to glycine and glutamine to form glutathione, a potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant;
  • Can regulate glutamate, an important brain neurotransmitter.
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid
  Alpha lipoic acid is a natural compound produced in the body:
  • Performs vital functions at the cellular level.
  • Participates in the processes of biological oxidation and providing the body with energy, in the formation of coenzyme A, necessary for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
  Alpha-lipoic acid is synthesized by the body, but its concentration in serum decreases with age.

How can you identify that you are undergoing oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them using endogenous (produced by the body) and exogenous (food intake) antioxidants.
Symptoms of oxidative stress can be varied and are often nonspecific, making them difficult to identify. However, signs such as fatigue, a compromised immune system, and skin issues can be regarded as potential indicators of oxidative stress.
How to protect yourself from oxidative stress?
• Follow a diet rich in antioxidants, including fruits and vegetables (especially berries, citrus fruits, carrots and spinach).
• Engage in regular exercise, as it can diminish oxidative stress by enhancing the production of endogenous antioxidants.
• Maintain high levels of antioxidant defense by using specialty supplements such as Essential Vitamins. Alpha-Lipoic Acid & N-Acetyl Cysteine.
