Anti-oxidants allow cells to perform more efficiently on less oxygen, thus freeing more oxygen for the cells and organs that really need it. Anti-oxidants are nature’s chief defense against the loss of oxygen which forms toxic compounds inside the body. They also protect other vitamins and body tissue especially membranes - from injury caused by pollutants and poisons.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is recognized as a powerful antioxidant, providing a greater variety of cellular protection. Unlike Vitamins C and E, it demonstrated effective antioxidant activity both inside and outside the cell membranes. It also works in the ‘redox’ process to recycle Vitamins C and E, as well as Coenzyme Q10. This recycling ability means that it can actually help extend the life and effectiveness of other antioxidants in the body.
