How does alpha-lipoic acid differ from ordinary antioxidants, and why is it added to the diet? — Alpha Lipoic Acid 100 mg, Food Supplement, N90- VitalHarmony

Most antioxidants work either in a water environment (like vitamin C) or a fat environment (like vitamin E). Alpha-lipoic acid is one of the few compounds active in both environments — meaning it can neutralise excess free radicals across different tissue types and cellular structures.

A second important point: ALA takes part in regenerating other antioxidant compounds, including vitamins C and E. That's why it's often included in combined nutrition plans alongside other nutrients.

Beyond its antioxidant role, ALA takes part in cellular metabolism: it helps enzymes convert nutrients from food into a form of energy usable by the muscles, nervous system and other tissues. That makes it interesting not only as a standalone antioxidant but also as a component of general metabolic support.

The dosage in VitalHarmony's capsules is 100 mg — a moderate level, suitable for those who want to try this ingredient without jumping straight to high doses. The product is a single-ingredient supplement: it contains only ALA, with no additional active substances, which makes it easier to keep track of exactly what you're adding to your diet.

It's important to understand: the supplement does not replace a balanced diet and is not intended to treat or prevent any disease. If you have chronic conditions, take medication, or are planning a pregnancy — consult a specialist before use.
