Alpha Lipoic Acid For Antioxidant Medical Treatment And Health Care

1. Product description of Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid is a pale yellow powder crystal, almost odorless. It has a low solubility in water, about 1 g/L (20°C). It is soluble in 10% NaOH solution and aliphatic solvents. It is easily soluble in methanol, ethanol, chloroform and ether. Lipoic acid, also known as alpha-lipoic acid, has a chiral center and therefore has two configurations, R and S. Natural lipoic acid is a white crystal with only R configuration, and only R configuration lipoic acid can be covalently conjugated to a lysine residue through an amide bond to play the function of a coenzyme. The artificially synthesized lipoic acid is a mixture of equal proportions of R configuration and S configuration. It is a pale yellow powdery substance, which is easily soluble in lipid solvents. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a water-soluble and fat-soluble metabolic antioxidant, a vitamin-like substance. Dr. Lester Parker, professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world's leading antioxidant researchers One, he called alpha-lipoic acid a "super antioxidant", the "most functional and active" antioxidant among all antioxidants.

3. Function of Alpha Lipoic Acid

• play an antioxidant role

Alpha-lipoic acid is suitable for paresthesia caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Alpha-lipoic acid belongs to the B vitamins, which can inhibit lipid oxidation in nerve tissue, prevent protein glycosylation, and can be reduced to dihydrosulfide after entering the human body. Caprylic acid, promotes the regeneration of vitamin C and vitamin E, and plays an antioxidant role.

• Helps in the treatment of arteriosclerosis

It can help in liver regeneration (especially of the type associated with alcohol consumption).May prevent heart disease, cancer and cataracts.
There are already many alpha lipoic acid anti-aging supplements on the market, and the recommended dose is 20-59 mg per day, but this amount can also be obtained through a balanced, healthy diet.

4. Application of Alpha Lipoic Acid

• Used in the pharmaceutical industry

Since it was originally used as a drug for the treatment of diabetes, of course, it must have such a function. In fact, lipoic acid is mainly used to prevent the combination of sugar and protein, that is to say, it has the effect of "anti-glycation", so it can easily stabilize the blood sugar level, so it was used as a vitamin to improve metabolism, so that patients with liver disease and diabetes take

• Used for beauty and anti-aging

Lipoic acid has amazing antioxidant capacity, can remove active oxygen components that cause skin aging, and because it is smaller than the molecule of vitamin E, and it is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, so the skin absorption is quite easy. (The widely used CoQ10 in Taiwan is fat-soluble, and its biggest disadvantage is that it is not easy to absorb.) It is especially effective for dark circles, wrinkles and spots. In addition, strengthening the metabolic function will improve the blood circulation of the body and make the skin dull. Sink will improve, pores will be reduced, become enviable fine skin. Therefore, lipoic acid is also the No.1 anti-aging nutrient in the United States alongside Q10.
