Benefits
Antioxidant and redox support
Alpha-lipoic acid and cysteine are antioxidants that support the body's redox balance and defense against oxidative stress.
Metabolic and weight support
In company-sponsored research, the complex was associated with modest reductions in body fat and weight as part of a calorie-controlled program; independent evidence is limited.
Energy and recovery
The components support aerobic energy metabolism and have been studied for reducing exercise-related fatigue.
Mechanism of action
Redox modulation
Alpha-lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble and helps regenerate other antioxidants, supporting cellular redox balance and mitochondrial energy production.
Cysteine and glutathione support
Cysteine supplies a building block for glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, supporting antioxidant defense.
