ALA also plays an important role as an antioxidant. It helps neutralize the effects of free radicals on the body by enhancing the antioxidant functions of glutathione. In addition to functioning as an antioxidant, this hard-working nutrient assists the B vitamins in producing energy from the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats consumed through foods.
