Alpha Lipoic Acid from Dymatize:

A Potent and Natural Free Radical Fighting Antioxidant!

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a natural antioxidant. It is gradually becoming recognized for its unique abilities to help support excellent health. In addition to antioxidant properties, LA helps the body use glucose. An antioxidant is any chemical, natural or synthetic, that neutralizes toxins or free radicals, thus protecting our cells from damage. A free radical is an unstable molecule with at least one unpaired electron. It reacts by trying to steal an electron from a neighboring molecule, causing damage in the process. Cigarette smoke, fried foods, ozone, excessive sun exposure, car exhaust, and air pollution are common causes of free radicals.
