Alpha-lipoic acid as a dietary supplement: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 2009




Antioxidant-7 delivers ten antioxidants and active vitamins in one 2-capsule daily dose. Seven antioxidants (Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid, NAC, CoQ10, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, Selenium) plus three active B vitamins (Methylcobalamin B12, L-5-MTHF Folate, Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate B6) in a single vegan capsule formula.
Antioxidant-7 is a 10-ingredient antioxidant and active vitamin formula designed to protect cells from free radical damage across both water-soluble and fat-soluble cellular environments. It is Health Canada licensed to provide provitamin A to help maintain eyesight, skin, membranes, and immune function; to be a source of antioxidant that decreases the adverse effects of free radicals on normal physiological functions; to help in collagen formation to maintain healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums; and to help maintain immune function (NPN 80080977).
Free radicals are unstable molecules produced by normal metabolism, pollution, UV radiation, and inflammation. They damage cell membranes, DNA, and proteins through a process called oxidative stress. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating electrons, stopping the chain reaction of cellular damage. The most effective antioxidant strategies use multiple antioxidants that work in different cellular environments and recharge each other, which is the design principle behind Antioxidant-7.
The antioxidants in Antioxidant-7 form a self-reinforcing network. Vitamin C helps recharge Vitamin E after it neutralizes a free radical. Alpha Lipoic Acid helps recharge Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione. NAC provides the cysteine building block the body needs to produce glutathione, its primary intracellular antioxidant. CoQ10 protects cell membranes alongside Vitamin E. Selenium supports glutathione peroxidase, the enzyme system that uses glutathione to neutralize hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides. This network means the antioxidants keep working longer than any single antioxidant taken alone.
Antioxidants work in specific cellular environments. Vitamin C, NAC, and glutathione work in water, protecting the interior of cells and the bloodstream. Vitamin E, CoQ10, and Beta-Carotene work in fat, protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage. Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique in that it works in both water and fat environments. Antioxidant-7 covers both environments in a single daily dose.
Most B vitamin supplements use inactive forms that the body must convert before use. Antioxidant-7 uses the active, ready-to-use forms. Vitamin B12 is provided as Methylcobalamin, the form the body uses directly, rather than cyanocobalamin which requires conversion. Folate is provided as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the active form that bypasses the MTHFR enzyme conversion required by folic acid. Individuals with the common MTHFR genetic variant cannot efficiently convert folic acid and benefit specifically from L-5-MTHF. Vitamin B6 is provided as Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active coenzyme form.
Adults: take 2 capsules once per day with a meal. Taking with food improves absorption of fat-soluble ingredients (Vitamin E, CoQ10, Beta-Carotene). 60 capsules = 30-day supply. Do not use if taking antibiotics or nitroglycerin. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking blood pressure or blood thinner medication, or if you have diabetes or kidney stones.
