What the brand says

Cardiovascular Health Support Targeted Wellness Potency - Purity - Pride Antioxidant Support Dietary Supplement Powerful antioxidant to help protect the body from free radical damage. What is Alpha Lipoic Acid? Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a natural compound that functions as a co-factor in vital, energy-producing reactions. The body produces very little ALA on its own, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient quantities from diet. ALA is well known as a powerful antioxidant. It has been called a “universal antioxidant” because it is effective in water-based substances such as blood, while its reduced metabolite, dihydro lipoic acid (DHLA), is effective in fatty tissues and membranes.
