Defend your body's cells against free radicals with Doctor's Best® Alpha-Lipoic Acid 600, which delivers 600 mg with each serving. ALA is a fatty acid that functions like a vitamin, although it is not classified as a vitamin. As a coenzyme, ALA plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose that produces energy in cells. ALA also has antioxidant properties and thus is important for controlling free radicals. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, ALA is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant."  ALA also recycles antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin E and helps maintain a healthy blood sugar level already within a normal range when used as part of the diet. Suitable for vegans.
