What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?
Lipoic acid powder is an antioxidant that is water-soluble and fat-soluble, and can eliminate free radicals that accelerate aging and cause disease. α-lipoic acid is a vitamin-like disulfide compound, a type of B vitamins, an important coenzyme in the body, and one of the indispensable substances in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is difficult to synthesize a sufficient amount of lipoic acid due to the growth of the human body. Only by supplementing in vitro, supplementing an appropriate amount of lipoic acid can inhibit lipid peroxidation in nerve tissue, prevent protein glycosylation, and prevent glucose or galactose from converting into sorbitol. As a treatment for diabetic or neurological diseases.
What does lipoic acid powder do?
1. Scavenging free radicals, lipoic acid powder can directly contact free radicals such as hydroxyl free radicals and singlet oxygen after entering the cells to scavenge free radicals;
2. Inhibit metal-induced oxidation, pure lipoic acid has the effect of chelating metal ions, which can reduce the damage of metal substances to the body;
3. Promote the body's antioxidant capacity, α-lipoic acid can quickly restore the ability of endogenous antioxidants such as vitamin E and glutathione, and improve the body's overall antioxidant capacity;
4. Anti-glycation
Lipoic acid pure powder can resist skin saccharification reaction, prevent the double protective effect of sugar and collagen combination, and can also resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin and resist the external stimuli to the skin;
5. Protect the liver
As a metal chelating agent, α-lipoic acid powder can reduce the toxicity of metals to the liver, reduce the damage of free radicals to liver cells, reduce inflammation, reduce the burden on the liver, and effectively protect the liver.
Application:
1. α-lipoic acid powder is a B vitamin that can prevent protein glycosylation and is used to treat and relieve diabetes.
2. Lipoic acid, as a super antioxidant, can activate cells and delay skin aging.
3. Pure lipoic acid is a liver protector.
