Product Notes:
Advanced Orthomolecular Research has designed P.E.A.k Antioxidant Support to support healthy glucose levels as well as provide pain relief, simultaneously.
This formula contains alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant that has been demonstrated to protect against free radical damage, as well as regenerate other antioxidants in the body such as glutathione and vitamins C and E. Some studies have also demonstrated that alpha lipoic acid is capable of reducing insulin resistance, and improve fasting blood glucose levels.
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an anti-inflammatory lipid present in virtually every cell of the body. Clinical studies have suggested that PEA may be beneficial in treating eczema, pain and even neurodegeneration.
As for the combination of ALA with PEA, a recent randomized clinical study showed improvement in people suffering from chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, without undesired effects.
