Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that is produced in the human body. There are good food sources of ALA which include spinach, broccoli, beef, yeast (particularly Brewer’s yeast), and certain organ meats (such as the kidney and heart). Usually, people can not ingest sufficient amount to exert its benefits. In the mitochondria, ALA can act both as an antioxidant, capable of recycling other antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin E, and as a coenzyme for key metabolic enzymes involved in energy production.
