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 water and 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.**
