What makes ALA so special?Unlike most antioxidants, ALA works in both fat- and water-based environments, allowing it to protect every part of the body—even crossing the blood–brain barrier to support brain health.
Together with its active form, Dihydrolipoic Acid (DHLA), ALA:
1) Neutralizes harmful free radicals
2) Regenerates vitamins C and E
3) Chelates metals that trigger oxidative stress
4) Helps maintain optimal cellular energy and metabolism
Science-backed benefits discussed in the paper:1) Supports nerve health and relieves discomfort from diabetic neuropathy
2) Promotes healthy blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
3) Contributes to heart and vascular health
4) Protects brain and cognitive function
5) Aids in skin vitality, fertility, and recovery from oxidative stress
Clinical studies confirm that oral ALA—often at 600 mg per day—is safe, well-tolerated, and effective, improving overall oxidative balance and wellness. With its ability to recycle other antioxidants and protect the body from within, ALA truly lives up to its name—“the antioxidant of antioxidants.”Source:
