Alpha Lipoic Acid, Now Food is a versatile antioxidant that controls and neutralizes free radicals in our body.
Functional action:
Alpha-lipoic acid (thioctic acid) is a "universal" antioxidant that is formed in the body and binds free radicals. Its molecules are found in every cell of our body.
Alpha-lipoic acid protects against oxidative stress caused by a mismatch between the rate of free radical formation and the ability of the body's defense systems to neutralize them.
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a universal antioxidant, because unlike other antioxidants, such as vitamin C (water-soluble) and E (fat-soluble), it is both fat- and water-soluble, so it can enter any cell in the body and is thus one of the most accessible destroyers of oxidation. Unlike many other antioxidants that provide exclusively extracellular protection, ALA provides both intracellular and extracellular protection.
In addition to the fact that ALA itself acts as an antioxidant, it also restores other oxidized forms of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, and makes them active again.
It is a hepatoprotector, improves liver function, reducing the damaging effects of endo- and exotoxins, including alcohol. Lipoic acid not only protects the liver, but also restores the integrity of liver cells. It helps reduce the consumption of the intrahepatic antioxidant glutathione, which reduces the load on the liver in hepatitis and cirrhosis.
It has a lipotropic effect, removes excess fat from the liver and prevents fatty degeneration of the liver. It participates in the regulation of fat metabolism, providing hypolipidemic and hypocholesterolemic effects.
It helps the body not to accumulate simple sugars, such as glucose, lactose, maltose, but to convert them into energy, improving sugar metabolism and helping to reduce its blood level.
Helps increase glycogen stores in the liver, as well as overcome insulin resistance. By the nature of its biochemical effect, it is close to B vitamins.
In patients with diabetes, Alpha-lipoic acid prevents the oxidative process in peripheral nerves, improving endoneural blood circulation and nerve impulse conduction.
Improves glucose absorption in skeletal muscles, including in patients with motor neuropathy.
Performs a detoxification function in the body, binding toxic substances and heavy metals.
Prevents the glycation process - the binding of sugar to proteins or lipids, as a result of which they are destroyed. Thus, the binding of sugar to collagen leads to a loss of collagen elasticity, dry skin, the appearance of wrinkles and aging. ALA prevents the attachment of sugar to the collagen protein, preventing collagen from breaking down and the skin from aging. Protects all proteins in our body from glycation.
Increases the contractile ability of striated muscles, including heart muscle.
Prevents the appearance of pro-inflammatory cytokines - substances that damage cells and accelerate the aging process.
Improves neuronal trophism.
