Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound that is made by the body and is also found in some foods, such as spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. It plays a role in energy production in the body and acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. ALA has been studied for its potential health benefits, including the treatment of certain types of nerve damage, diabetes, and liver disease.

Grape Seed Standardized Extract
Grapes are widely grown and cultivated for a variety of uses such as for food and beverage making (e.g., wine). They also have a long history of use in traditional medicine. The fruit and skin of grapes contain various compounds that are believed to have health benefits, including antioxidants such as resveratrol and flavonoids. These compounds may help to protect cells from damage and are purported to reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. Grapes and grape products may also have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce inflammation in the body and potentially improve symptoms of certain conditions. Grape seed extracts are also commonly used as a dietary supplement and are often standardized according to the content of polyphenols or proanthocyanidins.

BioPerine
Black pepper is a spice made from the dried, unripe fruit of the Piper nigrum plant, which is native to the southwestern coast of India. It is one of the most widely used spices in the world, and it is often utilized to add flavor and heat to a wide variety of dishes. In traditional medicine, black pepper is purported to have a number of health benefits. It is a good source of antioxidants and is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may make it useful in reducing inflammation and swelling in the body. Black pepper is also used as a natural remedy for digestive problems, such as indigestion and bloating, and to boost the immune system. Black pepper is widely used in dietary supplements, specifically, an extract from black pepper known as piperine. Piperine can affect the absorption of many drugs, which is why it has a large number of reported interactions. Oftentimes, these 'interactions' are purposeful, such as when piperine is used with turmeric, to increase its absorption.

| General Statements |
- Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant that plays a critical role in "combating" free radicals, which can damage cells and even speed up the aging process. Because ALA can function in both the water and lipid compartments of the cell, it has been called "the universal antioxidant."
In addition, ALA plays a key role in maintaining the body's antioxidant status. Because it has been found to help replenish Vitamin C and glutathione (crucial for cellular and liver detoxification), it is therefore important in the body's ability to remove toxins and waste material safely. ALA also helps to recycle Vitamin E.
Finally, ALA helps to promote cellular and muscular energy production by working as a co-enzyme in the metabolism of sugars. ALA is therefore an important nutrient for the support of healthy glucose and insulin utilization by the cell.

- Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that is naturally manufactured in the human body. ALA has been called the "universal antioxidant" because of its versatility-it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell-damaging free radicals in both water and fat environments. ALA works in conjunction with vitamins C and E and some other antioxidants, "recycling" them and making them much more effective. Beyond its direct antioxidant function, ALA helps to boost glutathione levels. Glutathione possesses its own antioxidant activities and is a critical component in cellular and hepatic detoxification mechanisms. ALA is also necessary for healthy glucose uptake and utilization, thereby helping to support healthy carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, because alpha-Lipoic acid can pass easily into the brain, it has protective effects on brain and nerve tissue.

| Precautions |
- Cautions and Interactions
Blood hormone levels and thyroid function tests should be monitored closely in people taking thyroid hormones who are also taking alpha-Lipoic acid. Also, because it may affect insulin sensitivity, blood glucose levels should be monitored closely when alpha-Lipoic acid supplementation is added to diabetes treatment regimens. In addition, alpha-Lipoic acid supplementation may increase the requirement for biotin in humans.
- Alpha-Lipoic acid may affect the body's metabolism of certain medications, including Cisplatin and Cyclophosphamide.
