ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is an organic compound that occurs naturally in every cell of the body. The energy that the body needs to function properly is produced by ALPHA LIPOIC ACID. Its mechanism of action is to convert glucose (blood sugar) into energy. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is unique in that it works in water and fat, and after antioxidants like vitamin C and glutathione are depleted, it is recycled to boost glutathione production.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is a vitamin drug. Due to its limited dextrorotatory activity, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID has essentially no physiological activity and no side effects. It is often used as a nutritional supplement to balance blood sugar, promote glucose absorption, improve glycemic control in diabetic patients, and reduce the use of insulin or hypoglycemic drugs.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is present in every cell of the body. Mitochondria, often referred to as the cell’s powerhouse, contain enzymes that convert energy from food into energy that the body can use. Some of these enzymes require ALPHA LIPOIC ACID to function. It’s a common addition to skin care products, and many companies claim it can protect your skin from environmental damage and prevent signs of aging.
In addition, in order to improve absorption utilization, many people will choose to use R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID and R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID SODIUM.
R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID has stronger antioxidant capacity than ALPHA LIPOIC ACID, and the regeneration of endogenous antioxidants and the repair of oxidative damage can only be achieved by the form of R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID contains two kinds of lipoic acid molecules, R and S. Its concentration is lower than that of R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID, and its curative effect will not be as good as that of R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID attacks free radicals, which may cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells in the body, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID serves as a co-factor for mitochondrial enzymes during the energy production by cellular respiration.
R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is exactly the same as the natural lipoic acid in the human body and nature, so it can be quickly recognized, absorbed and utilized by the human body when taken orally.
R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID has good water solubility, overcomes the first-pass effect of the stomach, improves the bioavailability of the product, and is suitable for making oral medicines, nutritional products or external cosmetics. In addition, R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID has higher solubility and higher absorption utilization. Therefore R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is easier to absorb than ALPHA LIPOIC ACID. R+ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is also more suitable for human consumption as a functional nutritional supplement added to functional foods and beverages, pharmaceutical products, etc.
