Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that is known to protect the body from oxidative damage related to aging and exercise; and as a recycler, it can restore the antioxidant properties of vitamins E and C after they have neutralized the free radicals. ALA stimulates the body's own production of glutathione, the liver's leading housekeeper. Glutathione binds with the toxic filth and makes it water-soluble enough to be excreted out through the kidneys.

According to Savant Mehta, MD, director of the liver-transplant program at the University of Massachusetts, ''We give patients who overdose on Tylenol a drug that stimulates glutathione production. It's the quickest way to rid the liver of toxins'' .
ALA aids in coenzyme Q10 absorption; both are considered potent antioxidants. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, it can move freely into all parts of cells to neutralize free radicals.
Controls Blood Sugar
For many years, ALA has been used in Europe to control blood sugar levels in diabetes and treat peripheral nerve degeneration. It is known to help prevent cataract formation, reduce blood cholesterol levels, and plays an important role in preventing and treating degenerative diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Many believe that ALA may help protect nerve cells against oxidative damage. Without ALA, which is known as a metabolic antioxidant, cells cannot use sugar to produce energy.
