About Alpha-Lipoic Acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a vital substance naturally produced in every cell of the body. ALA is unique due to its solubility in water and fat and has several different mechanisms of action in the body.1-5 ALA can be found naturally in various foods such as spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, green cabbage, red meat and offal. Sagas Rc 08 Alpha Lipoic 600 contains 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid in just one tablet.

The role of chromium in glucose metabolism

Chromium is an essential trace element that plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins and in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.* Chromium is naturally found in foods such as broccoli, green peas, potatoes, apples, bananas, whole grains, red meat and poultry.

Sagas Rc 08 Alpha Lipoic 600, in addition to lipoic acid, also contains 100 µg of chromium in the form of picolinate. Picolinate is a chelating agent that allows greater absorption and bioavailability, as it penetrates cells directly, allowing the body to better use the benefits offered by chromium.6,7
