Alphalipopic acid is an antioxidant, spanning both the lipophilic and hydrophilic domains. It is an essential component in mitochondrial membranes, helping to trap escaping pro-oxidants. It works synergistically with vitamins E and C.
It's good for you. I can assure you of that. I've never heard that reason for taking it before this. I don't care much why you take it, just do so.
