What is the benefit of doubling the amounts of alpha-lipoic acid and folic acid?
Alpha-lipoic acid is a water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidant that is ready and able to be used wherever your body needs it. By increasing the dosage from 50 mg to 100 mg, alpha-lipoic acid can recharge other antioxidants, doubling their ability to fight against deadly free radicals. Folic acid is an essential vitamin for women because it helps prevent serious birth defects. Increased dosages can help men and women to reduce homocysteine, a blood chemical that is a leading risk factor for heart disease.
