Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an organic compound that is both water- and fat-soluble, present in every human cell. Naturally produced in the mitochondria, it acts as a powerful antioxidant. One of its key functions is to help convert blood sugar (glucose) into energy through aerobic metabolism. This process may support healthy blood sugar levels, improve skin, brain, and heart health, and assist in weight management. While your body naturally produces ALA, it can also be obtained through foods such as red meat, organ meats, and vegetables like broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, and brussels sprouts. You can also turn to supplementation to increase ALA levels for added support. Introducing LAC Alpha Lipoic Acid, that offers 300mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) in convenient vegetarian capsule form!
