NOW Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a powerful “universal antioxidant” that supports cellular energy production and neutralizes free radicals both in water and fat environments. Each vegetarian capsule provides 100 mg of ALA, which plays a vital role in recycling other antioxidants like vitamins C and E, and enhances natural glutathione levels in the body.
This supplement is particularly useful for individuals seeking metabolic support, healthy nerve function, and overall antioxidant protection. It is vegan-friendly, non-GMO, and made without common allergens such as gluten, dairy, or soy, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary needs.
How does it work?
Alpha-lipoic acid seems to help prevent certain kinds of cell damage in the body, and also restores vitamin levels such as vitamin E and vitamin C. There is also evidence that alpha-lipoic acid can improve the function and conduction of neurons in diabetes.
Alpha-lipoic acid is used in the body to break down carbohydrates and to make energy for the other organs in the body.
Alpha-lipoic acid seems to work as an antioxidant, which means that it might provide protection to the brain under conditions of damage or injury. The antioxidant effects might also be helpful in certain liver diseases.
