Are you taking LA? Here's why you should!
LA is lipoic acid. Recent research on lipoic acid was discussed at the "Diet and Optimum Health" conference sponsored by the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University . Evidence presented showed that this compound appears to slow down the aging process, improve circulation, and enhance immune function. By some mechanism not completely understood it appears to turn on the basic cellular defenses of the body including some that decline with advancing age. This includes restoring levels of glutathione, a very important cellular antioxidant and detoxifier. LA also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and so can prevent many degenerative diseases. LA is normally found in small quantities in green leafy vegetables, but in a daily dose of BodyHealth Complete there is 50 mg of the most active form of this nutrient. Given the current trend in American Health with diabetes rates soaring, high blood pressure in over half of people over 65, rampant heart disease, and almost half of the elderly showing clinical malnutrition, attention of basic nutrition is paramount.
Interestingly in aging mice given lipoic acid, their cognitive ability, behavior and levels of 100 detoxification enzymes are at the levels of much younger animals. They live better and longer. The hypothesis is that LA jump starts cells with declining function so they respond as if they were younger. This includes improving mitochondrial function where cell energy is manufactured.
By taking two tablets daily of BodyHealth Complete or BodyHealth Complete + Detox you can get a plentiful supply of lipoic acid as well as all of the daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.
These supplements can make the real difference between getting the nutrition you need every day and suffering because you don't. Go to Bodyhealth.com/html/bhcd for more information.
