Protects & repairs cells
Lipoic acid is a highly effective, biologically available and well researched antioxidant that works in both the fat and water soluble portions of human cells. Lipoic acid supports healthy liver regeneration, immune function and circulation, as well as vision and glucose metabolism. It also supports cardiovascular and neurological health. Being a powerful antioxidant, it protects and repairs cells and reduces damage caused by oxidation. Lipoic acid also improves the effectiveness of vitamin C and E, two well-known antioxidants.
Though lipoic acid is produced naturally in the body, researchers werent aware of the existence of this unique antioxidant until the 1930s. When first purified and isolated in the 1950s, ALA was thought to be a vitamin, but later was classified as an essential coenzyme when researchers discovered it was a vital component of the mitochondrial electron transport (energy) reactions that facilitate the metabolism of glucose into energy (ATP).
Researchers didnt learn that alpha-lipoic acid is also a powerful biological antioxidant until 1988. What really caught the researchers attention was the realization they had discovered the only antioxidant known to be both fat and water soluble. Furthermore, unlike any other antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid is easily transported across cell membranes, enabling it to confer free radical protection both inside and outside cell structures.
