MET-Rx alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant. It is water and fat soluble so can function anywhere in the body. It boosts antioxidant action of both vitamin C and vitamin E. ALA helps neutralise damaging free radicals in both the water soluble and fat soluble compartments of cells.

What is an antioxidant?
Antioxidants are chemical substances that help protect against cell damage from free radicals. A free radical is an unstable molecule that tries to steal electrons from other molecules, thus causing damage. Smoking, pollution and fried foods are some sources of free radicals. Efficient energy production ALA is essential for energy production by directing calories from food into energy and away from fat production. ALA also regulates blood sugar levels, which may prevent excess fat storage.

Where can I find ALA?
ALA can be found in foods such as meats and vegetables, especially spinach. It is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, and can also cross the blood brain barrier. Two of the best natural sources of lipoic acid are yeast and liver, but the body can synthesise it when necessary. Most alpha lipoic acid in food is derived from lipoamide-containing enzymes and is bound to the amino acid, lysine (lipoyllysine).
