- Lipoic acid is an
antioxidant found in certain foods, including red meat, spinach,
broccoli, potatoes, yams, carrots, beets, and yeast. It is also made in
small amounts in the human body.
- Lipoic acid plays an
important role in metabolism. Recent research has shown that it is
beneficial in treating nerve damage in diabetics. It is an antioxidant
that is promoted to protect the body against cancer and other
diseases.
- Lipoic acid can
regenerate vitamin C from its oxidized form, dehydroascorbic acid.
Lipoic acid can also potentially regenerate other antioxidants. Lipoic
acid increases the levels of glutathione, a very important antioxidant
normally found in our cells and responsible for mopping up all types of
toxins and free radicals.
- Alpha-lipoic acid may
prove useful in the treatment of chronic hepatitis because it relieves
stress on the liver and helps rid the body of toxins.It has also been
used in conjunction with silymarin to treat Amanita poisoning.
- Alpha-lipoic acid is
absorbed from the small intestine and distributed to the liver via the
portal circulation and to various tissues in the body via the systemic
circulation. The natural R-entantiomer is more readily absorbed than the
L-entantiomer and is the more active form.
- Lipoic acid cannot be
called a vitamin in the traditional sense of the word since our bodies
appear capable of producing it. Nutrition tradition says no substance
can be designated a "vitamin" unless it is impossible to produce in the
body.
- Alpha-lipoic acid
protects mitochondria by removing free radicals and improves the
recycling of other antioxidants. Carnitine is more potent in restoring
mitochondrial energy production. Thus the combination is
complementary.
- Degussa's new
alpha-lipoic acid has been microencapsulated on a molecular level with
alpha-cyclodextrin produced by chemicals group Wacker, giving it a
much-improved shelf life and taste.
- Alpha-lipoic acid has
been described in scientific publications as the “ideal,” “universal,”
and “metabolic” antioxidant. At high doses, alpha-lipoic acid helps
maintain normal blood sugar balance in certain populations, and it also
helps protect the liver and other tissues.
