Alpha Lipoic Acid
Found in small amounts in foods like spinach and broccoli and commonly available as a dietary supplement, alpha lipoic acid is widely studied for its role in metabolic function and overall cellular maintenance.
Plant-based sources contain lower levels but still contribute small amounts, with spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, peas, and potatoes being the most commonly cited. Because the amount of alpha lipoic acid present in food is relatively low and varies widely depending on growing and cooking conditions, intake from diet alone is typically modest.
