Powerful antioxidant
In recent years, attention has been given to alpha-lipoic acid for its role in protecting the body, but until now it has only been available as a component of other products.
Alpha-lipoic acid (also known as thioctic acid) is a compound that contains sulfur in its structure. It is found in very small amounts in foods and in our bodies. It functions as a potent antioxidant, allowing the conversion of oxidized forms of vitamins C and E to their active forms, as well as carotenoids, providing a longer lifespan for these factors.
Another function attributed to alpha-lipoic acid is enabling better glucose utilization by muscles, leading to a decrease in blood sugar levels, and acting as a co-factor in cellular energy production (ATP).
Alpha-lipoic acid helps reverse the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, as well as facilitates the production of glutathione, which is one of the most important antioxidant and detoxifying components in the body. It is also important in detoxifying the body from heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.
