Many nutritionist and researchers refer to Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) as the "universal antioxidant" based on its fat/water solubility. This allows it to travel to virtually any cell in the body to quench cell damaging oxidation. In addition, ALA has been shown to increase the free radical fighting abilities of other vitamins and antioxidants, especially C and E. NOW® ALA 600 mg uses only the highest grade Alpha Lipoic Acid available, and delivers it in a high potency that has been proven safe in studies. To further support antioxidant activity, we've added 30 mg of Grape Seed Extract and 5 mg of Bioperine®, a potent compound that helps enhance the absorption of ALA.*
Alpha Lipoic Acid (Water & Fat Soluble) – known as the “universal antioxidant”, alpha lipoic acid (ALA) can go anywhere in the body because of its solubility in both water and fat. It conserves and prolongs the life of vitamins C and E, increasing their effectiveness. Without ALA, these antioxidants would not function as well. ALA is also an excellent metal detoxifier, particularly for mercury and cadmium. We are exposed to these toxic metals daily through car exhaust and cigarette smoke. ALA binds them and neutralizes them for excretion.
