Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) has been called a “universal antioxidant” because it is both water and fat soluble—this allows it to work in every cell or tissue in the body. As we age, our ability to synthesize ALA decreases and levels of oxidized proteins (these little buggers interfere with mitochondrial efficiency) increase. Supplementing with ALA, also known as a “mitochondrial nutrient,” addresses this head on.*
