How Does Alpha-Lipoic Acid work?
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) a nutrient present in every cell of the body,essential to chemical reactions which allow the body to produce energy.
In addition to playing a crucial role in normal metabolism and energyproduction, Alpha Lipoic Acid also functions as a potent antioxidantthat helps protect healthy cells from the damaging effects of freeradicals. Besides protecting membranes, mitochondria (theenergy-producing structures within cells) and cellular DNA, RLA worksynergistically with vitamins C and E and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
Extra
Because it's bothfat andwater soluble, ALA can neutralize freeradicals in both the fatty and watery regions of cells (unlike vitaminC, which is only water soluble, and vitamin E, which is fat soluble).ALA may increase levels of glutathione in the body. Glutathione is anantioxidant that plays an important role in protecting the brain aswell as visual health.
ALA also promotes healthy blood glucose levels. By speeding the removalof glucose from the bloodstream (by enhancing insulin function), ALAmay help reduce glucose tolerance and decrease insulin resistance. Itmay also restore glucose availability in tissues such as the skeletalmuscle.

There are several reasons you should supplement with ALA. First, thebody produces barely enough of this nutrient to keep up with metabolicdemands, and the amount decreases as you age. Second, ALA functions asan antioxidant only when it's present in excess. If you have only asmall amount in your body, it will be used for energy production ratherthan antioxidant protection. Third, it may be difficult to obtainsufficient quantities of ALA through diet alone.
