Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that has two main benefits. The first benefit is the removal of free radicals from your body & the functional enhancement of other antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C & E. Free radicals are waste products that are created when your body turns food into energy. The second benefit of ALA is its "insulin mimicking" effects
- the dramatic decrease in glucose levels. Insulin mimicking may also support increased concentrations of glutathione in the cells. It may also promote muscle cell nutrient intake & protein turnover.
