Formula re: Contains: Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is produced in the human body in very small amounts, but is also available through food sources. ALA is unique because it supports the body's free radical scavenging systems and can function in both water and fat environments. ALA can also recycle the antioxidant vitamins C and E, thereby extending their activities.
