Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack "free radicals," waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells, making it harder for the body to fight infections. They also damage organs and tissues. In the body's cells, alpha-lipoic acid is changed into dihydrolipoic acid.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a caprylic acid-derived antioxidant. The compound is synthesized in the mitochondria and is a cofactor in the enzymatic nutrient breakdown. It is a supplement for managing chronic diseases characterized by oxidative stress, notably diabetic neuropathy. It demonstrates promise in slowing the onset of metabolic syndrome through antioxidant properties. This supplement exhibits multifaceted features, functioning as an antioxidant by mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage linked to chronic metabolic disorders.
