Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) with Vitamins C & E, 100 mg – Cellular Energy, Antioxidant Protection, Glycemic Balance and Support for Skin and Nerves

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) with Vitamins C & E, Now Foods is a premium formula designed to fortify the body's key systems: energy production at mitochondrial level, broad-spectrum antioxidant protection, efficient glucose utilization and maintenance of nervous comfort and skin health. Each serving provides a precise profile: Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 250 mg (278% DV), Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl succinate) 20 mg (133% DV) and Alpha-lipoic acid 100 mg († DV not established). The synergy between ALA, Vitamin C and Vitamin E creates a "self-regenerating" antioxidant network, capable of supporting optimal cell function in the face of daily stressors.

ALA is a versatile antioxidant, active in both aqueous and lipid environments, and a cofactor involved in essential mitochondrial enzyme complexes. Vitamin C contributes to protein protection and normal collagen synthesis, while Vitamin E defends membrane lipids against oxidation. Together, they help maintain a stable cellular environment, promoting vitality, mental clarity and body resilience.

Detailed Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) with Vitamins C & E

• Support for Optimal Cellular Energy Levels

Cellular energy is the foundation of daily performance. Mitochondria convert carbohydrates and fatty acids into ATP, the cell's energy "currency."

With advancing age or during demanding periods, mitochondrial efficiency may decrease, leading to:
- feeling of fatigue and fluctuating energy;
- reduced productivity and concentration difficulties;
- slower recovery after exertion.

Through ALA intake, the body receives support for:
✅ efficient conversion of nutrients into ATP;
✅ maintaining constant energy flow throughout the day;
✅ supporting a state of alertness and mental clarity.

• Improvement of Mitochondrial Function

Mitochondria are sensitive to oxidative stress and dysfunctions that occur over time. An efficient respiratory "chain" means more energy and better regulated metabolism.

When mitochondrial function decreases, there may appear:
- decreased resistance to exertion;
- slowed metabolism;
- muscle discomfort after activity.
ALA supports mitochondrial enzymes and internal redox balance, while the association with Vitamin C and Vitamin E offers protection to cellular components exposed to oxidation.

The result is:
✅ support for physical and mental performance;
✅ superior metabolic efficiency;
✅ increased comfort during demanding periods.

• Synergistic Antioxidant Network and Cellular Protection

Oxidative stress acts on lipids, proteins and DNA. Effective protection requires antioxidants that "work as a team":
- ALA has the ability to act in both aqueous and lipid phases;
- Vitamin E protects membrane lipids against peroxidation;
- Vitamin C contributes to protein protection and regenerates oxidized vitamin E.

This antioxidant network has a "recycling" effect:
✅ ALA supports glutathione renewal and helps restore antioxidants;
✅ Vitamin C restores Vitamin E to active form;
✅ coherent protection across multiple cellular compartments.

• Optimization of Glucose Metabolism and Energy Response

A balanced glycemic response supports stable energy and metabolic comfort. Imbalances may be accompanied by:
- energy oscillations throughout the day;
- increased sweet cravings;
- "post-meal fatigue" state.

ALA supports efficient glucose utilization by cells, while Vitamin C contributes to protein protection against glycation processes, while Vitamin E supports the integrity of membranes involved in cellular transport and signaling.
Through this approach, the formula offers:
✅ more constant energy;
✅ improved postprandial comfort;
✅ support for balanced metabolism.

• Support for Peripheral Nerve Comfort

Nerve cells require an optimal antioxidant environment and constant energy supply. Lifestyle factors, repeated demands or stress periods can influence peripheral nerve comfort:
- discomfort sensations in limbs;
- variable sensitivity to stimuli;
- nervous fatigue.

ALA easily crosses biological barriers and supports the neuronal micro-environment, while Vitamins C and E contribute to protecting nerve structures. Through synergy, the formula supports:
✅ functional comfort;
✅ nervous tissue resilience;
✅ adaptation to daily demands.

• Skin Health, Collagen Synthesis and Lipid Barrier

Skin appearance reflects internal balance. When oxidative stress is increased, there appear:
- decreased tone and elasticity;
- dull appearance and visible signs of skin fatigue;
- sensitivity to environmental factors.

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen synthesis, supporting firmness and tissue integrity, while Vitamin E protects skin lipids. ALA completes redox protection, offering:
✅ support for elasticity and radiance;
✅ lipid barrier maintenance;
✅ support for skin regeneration.

• Cardiovascular Health and Lipid Protection

Lipid balance and protection against oxidation are important for cardiovascular comfort. Factors such as stress, unbalanced diet and sedentary lifestyle can favor:
- lipid oxidation;
- low-intensity inflammation;
- vascular oxidative stress.

Vitamin E contributes to protecting lipids against oxidation, Vitamin C supports collagen integrity in vascular walls, while ALA completes antioxidant defense. Together they offer:
✅ protection for membrane lipids;
✅ support for vascular connective tissue elasticity;
✅ redox balance at endothelial level.

• Liver and Metabolic Detoxification

The liver manages complex processes of neutralizing endogenous and exogenous compounds. Oxidative stress can affect:
- processing capacity;
- enzymatic balance;
- general comfort after rich meals.

ALA supports glutathione regeneration, a central endogenous antioxidant in detoxification phases, while Vitamins C and E protect hepatic structures sensitive to oxidation. The formula supports:
✅ enzymatic balance;
✅ protection against free radicals;
✅ hepatic functional resilience.

• Why This Formula

Now Foods chooses well-studied vitamin forms, with good bioavailability and stability. The integration of ALA with Vitamin C and Vitamin E creates a coherent antioxidant architecture, which supports simultaneously energy production, tissue protection and metabolic balance. For active people, for those who want vitality throughout the day or for those seeking broad antioxidant defense, this combination offers practical and effective support, aligned with the needs of a modern lifestyle.
