Alpha lipoic acid (aka ALA, lipoate or thioctic acid) is utilized as an antioxidant and co-factor in glycolysis. Glycolysis is the initial process in most of the body's pathways to breakdown glucose into useful forms of energy. Though critical to life, ALA is not a vitamin because it can be synthesized from essential fatty acids and the amino acid L-cysteine. However, no food is rich enough to serve as a good source.Jarrow Formulas Alpha Lipoic Acid 100mg, 180 TabletsAt a Glance:Supports carbohydrate metabolism and mitochondrial health*Useful for anyone seeking antioxidant and cellular support*Includes Biotin, an essential cofactor for energy production and lipid metabolism* Supports carbohydrate metabolism and mitochondrial health*.
