Power B is an excellent combination of alpha-lipoic acid and
CoQ10. It is used to boost brain function and antioxidant
activity. The reason for the combination is that alpha-lipoic
acid, when mixed in the optimum ratio, can recycle the
oxidized CoQ to its reduced antioxidant form again, thus
making CoQ a permanent antioxidant (1). It has also been
shown that lipoic acid can recycle most of our body’s
endogenous antioxidants, including ascorbic acid, vitamin E,
glutathione, etc. (2-4).

Functions:
*        Enhancing brain antioxidant defense system
*        Boosting brain function
*        Preventing and improving Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease
*        Preventing and improving neuropathy of diabetes.

Usage:
* Recommended by Healthcare Professionals: As a dietary supplement, take 1
capsule twicedaily, preferably with meals.
* One cycle is three month; according personal difference, take 1-3cycles.

Precautions and caution:
*        Do not use if seal under cap is broken. Store at room temperature.
*        Keep lid tightly closed and do not expose to heat or humidity.
