    The Antioxidant of Antioxidants: Lipoic Acid
    Jun 2 2025

    In this episode of Daily Value, we look at the often overlooked yet potent nutrient, alpha lipoic acid, which is integral to mitochondrial energy metabolism and cellular health. Discovered in 1937, ALA acts as a primary antioxidant in the body. This episode covers the distinction(s) between supplemental and endogenous ALA. The latter is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and is used therapeutically for conditions like diabetic neuropathy, oxidative stress, and metal detoxification. I will also explain the importance of selecting the right form of ALA , recommended dosages for different formulations and their potential benefits in metabolic health.
