Many nutritionist and researchers refer to Now Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) as the “universal antioxidant” based on its fat/water solubility. This allows it to travel to virtually any cell in the body to quench cell damaging oxidation. In addition, Now Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid has been shown to increase the free radical fighting abilities of other vitamins and antioxidants, especially C and E. NOW ALA 600 mg uses only the highest grade Alpha Lipoic Acid available, and delivers it in a high potency that has been proven safe in studies. To further support antioxidant activity, we’ve added 30 mg of Grape Seed Extract and 5 mg of Bioperine, a potent compound that helps enhance the absorption of ALA.

NOW’s Mission
The NOW mission is – To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods.

In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products.

History of NOW
In 1968, NOW Foods was founded under the belief that good health was not a luxury available only to the wealthy. For the past forty years, NOW has made it their life’s work to offer health food and nutritional supplements of the highest quality, at prices that are fair and affordable to all those who seek them. Today, NOW Foods is one of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development. And while NOW has grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed – NOW’s commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.
