Product Description Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a mitochondrial fatty acid that is highly involved in energy metabolism. It is synthesized in the body and can be consumed through eating meats and minimally in some fruits/vegetables. In supplement form, it has shown benefit against various forms of oxidation and inflammation. These effects carry on to benefits that protect one from heart diseases, liver diseases, diabetes, and neurological decline with age. It is a potent anti-oxidant compound. It works with mitochondria and the body's natural anti-oxidant defences. It is also seen as an anti-aging compound since it can reverse some of the oxidant damage related effects of aging. Alpha-lipoic acid appears to be absorbed via transporter-related means, and despite being inherently fat-soluble it does not require dietary fatty acids to be absorbed from the gut. ALA supplementation can be taken in a fasted state. Does not go well with monocarboxylic acids (medium chain triglycerides, benzoic acid) as they can compete for absorption. Box Contains 1 x Tested R-ALA
