ALA

ALA, or Alpha-Lipoic Acid, is a natural antioxidant found in small amounts in foods like spinach and red meat. It helps protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can contribute to aging and various health issues. ALA also plays a role in energy production within your cells and may support blood sugar regulation. Because it dissolves in water and fat, ALA can work throughout your body, promoting overall cellular health. People often take supplements of ALA to boost antioxidant levels and support metabolic health.
