Lipoic acid is an organic compound (vitamin-like substance) that acts as a coenzyme to participate in the acyl transfer in the metabolism of substances in the body, eliminating free radicals that cause accelerated aging and disease, and has both fat-soluble and water-soluble properties.
Alpha-lipoic acid (1077-28-7) is a kind of lipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid is divided into levo-lipoic acid, dextro-lipoic acid and mixed-lipoic acid. Our common types of lipoic acid are mixed lipoic acid and dextrorotatory lipoic acid. Among them, alpha lipoic acid is mixed lipoic acid.
The lipoic acid molecule is composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur, and is highly reductive. It is an enzyme found in mitochondria and is absorbed into the cells through the intestinal tract. It is both fat-soluble and water-soluble, so it can be used throughout the body to reach any cellular site, providing the body with overall effectiveness.
Alpha lipoic acid is the most efficient and safe Antioxidant known to date, and is known as the "universal antioxidant". Its antioxidant capacity is 400 times higher than that of vitamin C and E, and far superior to the popular ingredients such as grape seed and green tea.
Scientific research has confirmed that the body can synthesize alpha lipoic acid (ALA) by itself, but this synthesis capacity is weak and gradually decreases with age. Daily diet can also provide a certain amount of ALA, for example, spinach is the most abundant source, but the amount of ALA in 7 kg of fresh spinach is only 2 mg, so the daily diet is far from enough to meet the body's needs. Supplementation with the right amount of ALA helps the body to be healthy.
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has a high safety profile and is a widely recognized nutritional supplement, available as a health food in the US and EU, and as a food in Japan. Long-term use of ALA does not produce cumulative effects or side effects, and it is a safe and efficient antioxidant.
