Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a very potent antioxidant that could be considered a nutritional powerhouse that helps protect your body! Unlike other antioxidants, ALA is both fat and water-soluble which makes it active in almost every cell of your body. ALA can also neutralize harmful free radicals thus protecting your body from damage caused by free radicals in the environment. As for other antioxidants in the body, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione, ALA has the unique ability to extend their life and increase their ability to be more effective for detoxification.

The recommended daily dose of Alpha Lipoic Acid is 50mg-100mg. It can be found in many foods, but it has a higher concentration in foods such as the kidney, heart, liver, spinach, and broccoli.
