Why Alpha Lipoic Acid is Essential - |
|
|
|
ALA is a vitamin-like compound, first isolated from potatoes. It was designated lipoic acid over 50 years ago, as it was commonly found associated with lipids, or fatty areas of the cell. ALA was subsequently found to be soluble in water and also able to penetrate lipid environments, a property lending considerable versatility to this nutrient. ALA is a nutrient that comes close to being a vitamin. Vitamins are nutrients required for health but, for the most part, produced in insufficient amount (or not at all) by the cells of the body. Under certain conditions of cellular stress, ALA may not be synthesized in sufficient quantities. Thus it could be classified a para-vitamin or conditionally essential nutrient. |

|
ALPHA LIPOIC is a powerful antioxidant that works with other nutrients such as vitamins A & E and gluththione to defend against excessive free radicals. It is called an universal antioxidant because it is soluble in both water and lipid based tissue. |

|
ALPHA LIPOOIC is used by the body to metabolize food and for energy production. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that may prevent free-radical damage. Although there have been hundreds of studies over last 40 years revealing how lipoic acid energizes metabolism, the new excitement about this vitamin-like substance can be seen in the countless recent studies focusing on how it may improve the physique, combats free radicals and protects our genetic material, as it slows aging, and helps protect against heart disease, cancer and many other diseases. |
