Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound that is made by the body and is also found in some foods, such as spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. It plays a role in energy production in the body and acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. ALA has been studied for its potential health benefits, including the treatment of certain types of nerve damage, diabetes, and liver disease.

N-Acetyl Cysteine
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is derived from the amino acid cysteine. It is used as a prescription medication to treat acetaminophen overdose and to help thin mucus in people with certain respiratory conditions. It is also used as a dietary supplement. NAC has a number of potential health benefits. It is a source of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione, which is important for protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting immune function. It also may have anti-inflammatory effects and studies show it may support healthy brain function. It is generally considered safe to take NAC supplements in recommended doses.

Barley Grass, organic powder
Barley, a widely used grain renowned for its high fiber content, serves both as a staple food and an ingredient in brewing various types of alcoholic beverages. Research suggests that barley's dietary fiber may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Studies indicate that daily consumption of 3-12 grams of barley can help lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in adults with hypercholesterolemia. A key component of barley is beta-glucans, a soluble fiber known for its health benefits. Barley also contains tocopherols and tocotrienols, forms of vitamin E with antioxidant properties that further enhance its nutritional value. Moreover, barley contains hordenine and lunasin, compounds under study for their potential health-promoting effects.

| General Statements |
- Andrew Lessman’s ALPHA LIPOIC ACID delivers a special blend of two powerful and related anti-oxidants, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC). ALA has the rare ability to exist in either water- or oil-based environments, which enables ALA to deliver its powerful anti-oxidant benefits virtually anywhere in the body. This universal solubility results in ALA being commonly referred to as the “Universal Anti-Oxidant” and allows it to be particularly effective in providing its anti-oxidant benefits to the cells of our nervous system and brain where its molecular structure permits it to cross the blood-brain barrier. It also protects the vital tissues and structures of the cardiovascular and immune systems, the liver, kidneys and lungs. ALA’s anti-oxidant capacity also helps to “recharge” and extend the life of other anti-oxidants in the body, such as Vitamins C and E, Coenzyme Q-10 and Glutathione. Unfortunately, the body makes and maintains very low concentrations of ALA and supplementation can become necessary as a result of the normal changes accompanying aging, stress, illness and even exercise. For additional protection against free radical damage, we include ALA’s related molecule, NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), which is also a powerful anti-oxidant and an essential building block in the creation of Glutathione Peroxidase, perhaps the body’s most powerful anti-oxidant. The human body relies on its own extremely effective internal anti-oxidant systems for protection, and ALA and NAC offer both internal and external anti-oxidant support to combat the daily onslaught of damaging free radicals. No modern anti-oxidant regimen is complete without the addition of the Universal Anti-Oxidant (ALA) and NAC. We then blend our Alpha Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl Cysteine with the naturally green, nutrient- and chlorophyll-rich anti-oxidant benefits of Organic Wheat Grass and Organic Barley Grass.
