Kosher Alpha Lipoic Acid

Bluebonnet Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 200mg is a kosher product that provides excellent antioxidant support.  Simply put, ALA antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals, thereby reducing damage to tissues all over the body, including those in the eyes, liver, vessels and nerves.  Alpha lipoic acid aids in recycling the antioxidant vitamins C and E.
