LIPOIC ACID, ALPHA, powder. ALA is a supernutrient that helps the cells provide quick bursts of energy for intense exercise, reduces lactic acid buildup from overexertion, and helps produce sustained energy without increasing fat production. It is a powerful fat soluble antioxidant that protects throughout the body, promotes healthy blood sugar levels, protects against aging due to glycation (cross-linking protein molecules by sugar); and helps to speed creatine to muscle cells.** Click here for more information related to the use of alpha-lipoic acid
