As a coenzyme, ALA plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose that produces energy in cells. ALA also has antioxidant properties and thus is important for controlling free radicals. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, ALA is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant". Supports the body's defenses against free radicals. Recycles antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C and Vitamin E. Helps maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet.
