Alpha-Lipoic Acid is known as "the universal antioxidant" because it protects both the fat and water-based areas of the body from oxidative damage. This includes protecting DNA in the mitochondria - the energy-producing powerhouse of cells within muscles, nerves and tissues throughout the body. It is this type of damage that results in "aging".
ALA enhances antioxidant status by recycling vitamins C and E and by increasing levels of glutathione which can become depleted in people with high oxidative stress due to inflammation or blood sugar and cardiovascular disorders.
Studies have shown that ALA significantly reduces blood levels of C-reactive protein (a biomarker of inflammation), and supports healthy nerve function in people with blood sugar disorders by effectively reducing a variety of symptoms of neuropathy.
