🕰️ Brief History

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) was first discovered in the 1950s during biochemical research into how cells produce energy in the mitochondria. Scientists initially identified it as a crucial cofactor involved in enzyme reactions that help convert carbohydrates and fats into usable energy.

In the following decades, research expanded into ALA’s role as a unique antioxidant, since it works in both water- and fat-based environments inside the body. This led to growing interest in its ability to support cellular protection, oxidative stress balance, and metabolic processes.

By the late 20th and early 21st century, Alpha Lipoic Acid became widely used in nutritional supplements focused on:

• ⚡ Energy metabolism
• 🛡️ Antioxidant support
• 🧠 Nerve and nervous-system wellness
• 🌿 Metabolic health support.

Synergy developed Synergy Alpha Lipoic Acid 250mg 60 Capsules as part of its antioxidant and metabolic wellness range.
