Alpha-Lipoic Acid Details
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplies antioxidant support throughout the body. ALA is particularly beneficial for nerve, eye, metabolic, and liver health. An important antioxidant in both water-soluble and fat-soluble tissues, ALA can benefit every cell in the body.
ALA also helps the body recycle other antioxidants, like glutathione, adding to glutathione’s ability to resist the free radical damage that can accumulate with normal aging.
Who can benefit from ALA?
- An individual experiencing challenges to nerve health
- An individual wanting to optimize antioxidant activity to protect cells against free radical damage
- An athlete seeking support for increased oxidative stress due to intense exercise
- A man desiring to support his natural fertility
- An individual seeking support for cellular metabolism
