    Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants are substances that attack free radicals, which are dangerous waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells in the body, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. They also damage organs and tissues.

    Antioxidants are depleted as they attack free radicals, but evidence suggests alpha-lipoic acid may help regenerate these other antioxidants and make them active again.

    In the cells of the body, alpha-lipoic acid is converted into dihydrolipoic acid.

    YOUR ACTIVE LIFESTYLE DEMANDS MORE R-ALA THAN THE BODY CAN PRODUCE NATURALLY

    Your body is a well-programmed machine but is incapable of creating R-ALA on its own and therefore needs to get it from your nutrition. The fact that you live an active lifestyle can quickly use up R-ALA found in the food you consume so that it can be used by the body to create energy and keep the brain, heart, and many other organs of the body protected from free radicals and oxidative stress that can be damaging and ultimately hinder your physical and mental performance throughout the day.

    An active lifestyle can increase the body’s need for R-ALA because physical activity increases energy expenditure, and R-ALA plays a vital role in energy production.

    The good news is that R-ALA supplements can fill the void in your nutrition by supplying the body with adequate amounts of this essential fatty acid to support the various bodily functions that may improve health and overall well-being.
