Alpha-lipoic acid is an organic compound, with powerful antioxidant properties, found in all human cells. It’s made inside the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell), where it helps enzymes turn nutrients into energy.
The antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid have been linked to benefits like lower blood sugar levels, energy improvement, weight-loss, reduced inflammation, slowed skin aging and improved nerve function.
Humans only produce alpha-lipoic acid in small amounts. Supplements can pack up to 10,000 times more alpha-lipoic acid than natural sources
