Bioclinic Naturals, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine & R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid, 500 mg/200 mg, 90 Capsules

N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) are complementary antioxidants that help mitigate damage caused by elevated blood glucose levels, support more optimal metabolic function, and improve blood vessel health.

NAC is the chief building block for glutathione, perhaps the most important antioxidant found within the cell, which is critical for detoxifying many of the environmental pollutants known to impair blood sugar metabolism. Supplementation with NAC has been associated with lower homocysteine levels as well as improved endothelial function, both markers for cardiovascular health.

ALA helps recycle other important antioxidants, including vitamin C and glutathione, helping to limit oxidative damage within the cell. Supplementation with ALA has been shown to help with blood sugar control and improve both insulin sensitivity and blood vessel health (endothelial function) in people with metabolic abnormalities. It has also been shown to support the maintenance of a healthy weight.

ALA has broad antioxidant effects, protecting multiple tissues, including nerve and heart cells, against the damages of excessive sugar levels. It’s also been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in a variety of conditions.
