Patient One Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a fat- and water-soluble nutrient with antioxidant activity. It provides protection both inside and outside the cell. ALA has the ability to regenerate and extend the biochemical lifetime of other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, as well as glutathione and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). As such, it plays a role in protecting against oxidative stress and free radical formation. As a coenzyme, ALA is needed to break down glucose for energy metabolism.

This versatile nutrient has been shown to support vascular and connective tissue health, protect cell structures, support the nervous system, help maintain healthy liver function and help maintain cholesterol and blood glucose levels already within normal ranges. Because of its antioxidant properties and its ability to enhance blood vessel circulation to the nerves, ALA has been studied for its supportive role in healthy circulation, particularly in the nervous system. This is vital for maintaining optimal visual health.

Alpha lipoic acid can be made in the body but production declineswith age. ALA supports overall healthy aging, helping to neutralize free radicals throughout the body, and it provides protection from damage to the elastin and collagen in the skin that can be linked to signs of aging and wrinkles. Additionally, ALA provides support for athletes by producing energy in muscles and directing calories into energy production.
