Most antioxidants work in either water-soluble (like Vitamin C) or fat-soluble (like Vitamin E) environments. Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique — it functions in both.
Cells have both aqueous (cytoplasm) and lipid (membranes) compartments. ALA provides antioxidant protection across the entire cellular environment, making it a versatile addition to any antioxidant formula.
ALA also regenerates other antioxidants (vitamins C and E, glutathione), supports nerve health and helps regulate blood sugar. These secondary effects are relevant for adults over 50.
ALA complements Turmeric (primarily lipophilic) and CoQ10 (mitochondrial) in our formula. Together, they provide broad-spectrum antioxidant coverage across multiple cellular compartments.
Caution: ALA can lower blood sugar. If you take diabetes medications, consult your physician before starting.
