Apha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that is found throughout the body. It helps to break down sugar into energy.

Since it works in both water and fat, it is capable of being present in a high number of locations within the body, relative to other antioxidants. Alpha Lipoic Acid may help re-establish other antioxidants in the body, whose numbers decrease as they eliminate free radicals. It may help protect the brain from long-term disease, and aid in pain reduction from diabetic nerve disorders.
