ALA has been called the "universal antioxidant" because of its versatility-it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell damaging free radicals in both water and fat environments. * ALA works in conjunction with vitamins C and E and some other antioxidants, "recycling" them and making them much more effective. Beyond its direct antioxidant function, ALA helps to boost glutathione levels. * Glutathione possesses its own antioxidant activities and is a critical component in cellular and hepatic detoxification mechanisms. * ALA is also necessary for healthy glucose uptake and utilization, thereby helping to support healthy carbohydrate metabolism. * In addition, because alpha-Lipoic acid can pass easily into the brain, it has protective effects on brain and nerve tissue.
