dub nutrition "Youth" alpha lipoic acid - healthy energy

Alpha-lipoic acid is so effective as an anti-oxidant because it works on both water and 
fat-soluble free radicals that cause oxidation and cell damage in the body. Not with 
standing its popularity, the exact mechanism responsible for the medicinal affects of 
alpha-lipoic acid is still not fully understood. Some research suggests that certain nerve 
diseases may occur as a result of free radical damage. Since alpha-lipoic acid can 
reach all parts of a nerve cell it can potentially protect nerve cells against such damage. 
This is the rationale behind studies on the potential benefits of alpha-lipoic acid for 
diabetic neuropathy.
