Capsules provide the powerful antioxidant alpha lipoic acid in its purest crystalline form. Alpha lipoic acid is a unique antioxidant that is both fat-soluble and water-soluble, and is known for its free radical scavenger activity. Bluebonnet Nutrition"s Alpha Lipoic Acid 200 mg. is available in easy-to-swallow vegetable capsules for maximum assimilation and absorption. Alpha Lipoic Acid is both fat- and water-soluble and is known for its free-radical scavenger activity. Alpha lipoic acid or thioctic acid is a vitamin-like natural antioxidant that is involved in energy production (formation of adenosine triphosphate Ð ATP) from the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Alpha lipoic acid aids in recycling the antioxidant vitamins C and E. There is also evidence that it is involved in glutathione production in the liver and aids in the detoxification of the body. Dietary sources rich in alpha lipoic acid include flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, canola oil, soybeans and soybean oil and pumpkin seeds. AntioxidantsFree radicals are generated by exposure to harmful environmental factors, such as: smog, ozone, chemicals, drugs, smoking and radiation, as well as during normal physiological processes, especially in defense against microbes and other foreign substances. Free radicals can damage DNA, proteins and lipids within cells, altering or inhibiting cellular function. Dietary antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, carotenoids and others, function to help control or eliminate free radicals by donating electrons, thus, maintaining cellular health by offsetting the damage they can potentially cause. Antioxidants that are available through the diet are considered exogenous antioxidants and include: amino acids [N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), taurine and L-glutathione (tripeptide)], vitamins C and E, carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin), and minerals (selenium and zinc). Antioxidants produced in the body are considered endogenous antioxidants and include: ubiquinone/ubiquinol (CoQ10), alpha lipoic acid and the master cellular defense enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and many more. However, many factors have been found to compromise the levels of endogenous antioxidants in the body making supplementation essential, such as the normal aging process, certain medications and oxidative stress. Nutrition to the Fifth PowerBluebonnet Nutrition was founded in 1991 on the basic principle that they offer the cleanest, purest, most natural nutritional supplements offered exclusively through independent natural food retailers. Today, they are proud to say that they still honor this commitment and that their devotion is true and loyal. The landscape of nutrition is changing rapidly. However, Bluebonnet Nutrition is not simply changing with it. They"re leading the way. Since the launch of their company in the heart of Sugar Land, Texas, They"ve carefully sowed the seeds of success by their unwavering pledge to the five powers of Bluebonnet Nutrition: Nature, Science, Quality, Truth and Knowledge - one power for every petal of the Texas state flower from which they take their name. A Family AffairBluebonnet Nutrition is a family-run, independent company similar to the independent natural product retailers they serve. The members of the Barrows family and the extended Bluebonnet family have been actively involved in the natural products industry for decades with the same business virtue of naturalness, purity, innovation, accessibility, integrity, loyalty and quality. They are driven by their close relationships with natural product retailers, who have knowledgeable staff to lead health-conscious consumers to those products that will specifically address their individual nutritional needs and health concerns. No other retail outlet can provide that level of service and expertise. An Award-Winning CompanyIt was because of this commitment to the founding principals upon which the industry was founded that Bluebonnet Nutrition was awarded the first "Manufacturer of the Year" by Vitamin Retailer in 2006. In fact, Vitamin Retailer Magazine sought input from leading natural product retailers asking them to identify companies in the industry that exemplified the following criteria: leadership, noteworthy/distinctive product line, innovative product development, high-quality manufacturing standards, strong relationship with retailers, community outreach, trade association involvement, reputation, company growth rate, and financial standing.
