Alpha Lipoic Acid is an extremely strong antioxidant that helps neutralize cell-damaging free radicals. This highly potent formula optimizes its antioxidant effects to fight against cell damaging free radicals that are harmful to the body. It neutralizes free radical damage in cells while enhancing the activity of antioxidant vitamins B and C. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants are substances that attack free radicals, which are dangerous waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells in the body, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. They also damage organs and tissues. Antioxidants are depleted as they attack free radicals, but evidence suggests alpha-lipoic acid may help regenerate these other antioxidants and make them active again.
