An antioxidant that supports cellular energy and helps protect blood vessels from oxidative damage.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound found in every cell of the body, where it helps turn glucose into energy.
It rounds out GL-Defend's formula with an antioxidant and cellular-energy layer, supporting blood vessel health.
ALA has been studied for its antioxidant properties and its relationship to reducing oxidative stress associated with elevated glucose.
This describes general research on Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) itself, not the finished GL-Defend product, which hasn't been the subject of its own clinical trial. See the full ingredients list or the formula overview for more.
