What is Vitacost Alpha Lipoic Acid with Biotin?

Vitacost Alpha Lipoic Acid with Biotin is a combination formula supplying 300 mg of alpha lipoic acid plus 3,000 mcg of biotin per single-capsule serving.

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a natural compound that functions as a co-factor in vital, energy-producing reactions.* The body produces very little ALA on its own, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient quantities from diet.

Biotin is an essential B vitamin, also known as vitamin H. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is not stored in the body and must be continually replaced.

How do alpha lipoic acid and biotin support health?

• ALA is well known as a powerful antioxidant.*
• It has been called a “universal antioxidant” because it is effective in water-based substances such as blood, while its reduced metabolite, dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), is effective in fatty tissues and membranes.*
• ALA enhances the antioxidant activity of vitamins C and E and coenzyme Q10.
• ALA may increase levels of glutathione, the body’s most important antioxidant.*
• ALA may promote cardiovascular health by protecting against free radical damage.*
• Biotin supports the breakdown of fatty acids into energy for the body.*
• Biotin supports the action of enzymes that affect the skin and intestinal tract.*
• Biotin may help strengthen brittle nails.*
