Description
ALA is both water and fat-soluble, which allows it to work in every cell or tissue in the body. It is a powerful co-enzyme and antioxidant, widely recommended for those worn down by oxidative stress. It also helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamins E and C and glutathione. The antioxidant properties of ALA have been linked to several benefits, including lower blood sugar levels, reduced inflammation, slower skin ageing, eye, liver and heart health and improved nerve function. ALA is popular as a potential aid for diabetes and its complications, such as peripheral neuropathy.
