Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg Alpha lipoic acid is known for its involvement in the metabolism of fats, proteins, carbohydrates and cellular respiration (energy production) and its protective role in the body as a powerful antioxidant. Research suggests that alpha lipoic acid aids in recycling the antioxidant vitamins C and E, and works synergistically with vitamin E to prevent oxidation of fatty components, which is important for heart health. There is also evidence that it is involved in chelating some heavy metals, as well as influencing glutathione production. In addition, alpha lipoic acid helps maintain nerve and liver function.
