What is Alpha-lipoic acid for?
Alpha lipoic acid or ALA is a naturally occurring organic compound that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. Your body produces it naturally, but it can also be found in yeast, liver, kidney, spinach, broccoli and potatoes. It is both water- and fat-soluble, which allows it to work in every cell or tissue in the body.
