Alpha Lipoic Acid

Other Names: ALA

Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant used for a wide range of health issues, including disease prevention and age-related illnesses such as Alzheimer’s. A supplement with Alpha Lipoic Acid may help you if you have diabetes, cataracts, high cholesterol, and more by fighting free radicals, aiding in absorption of vitamins A and C, and boosting insulin signaling. Alpha Lipoic Acid is also thought to help with multiple sclerosis and vascular disease.

Alpha Lipoic Acid occurs naturally in the body, but only acts as an antioxidant when there is an excess from taking a supplement or having it injected. Because it is both water and fat soluble, the body can easily absorb ALA, and it can even cross the blood/brain barrier. Plus, Alpha Lipoic Acid can regenerate itself and other antioxidants.
