Life Extension Super Alpha Lipoic Acid With Biotin 250 Mg - 60 Capsules
About The The evidence is especially strong for the ability of DHLA (dihydro-lipoic acid, a reduced form of alpha-lipoic acid) to recycle vitamin E. One of the most beneficial effects of alpha-lipoic acid is its ability to regenerate other essential antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)
The evidence is especially strong for the ability of DHLA (dihydro-lipoic acid, a reduced form of alpha-lipoic acid) to recycle vitamin E. Among the mild, reversible side effects found in some patients have been allergic skin reactions and possible hypoglycemia in diabetics. It also has metal chelating ability, helping the body rid itself of accumulated ingested toxins. Universal Cell Protection. Alpha-lipoic acid has been called the universal antioxidant because it boosts glutathione levels in cells and has potent antioxidant actions. This means that the antioxidant activity of alpha-lipoic acid is working in the extra-cellular fluid and also within the cell. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant used in Europe to promote liver and nerve health, and confer protective benefits against oxidative processes. Non-GMO. In clinical studies to date with alpha-lipoic acid, there have been no reported serious adverse side effects, even at high doses. Research has strongly implicated cellular oxidative damage caused by free radicals as a cause of many degenerative problems. This is apparently achieved directly by quenching tocopherol radicals or indirectly by reducing vitamin C or increasing the levels of ubiquinol (a derivative of CoQ10) and glutathione, that, in turn, helps regenerate tissue levels of vitamin E. Alpha-lipoic acid also is a co-factor for some of the key enzymes (alpha keto acid dehydrogenases) involved in generating energy from food and oxygen in mitochondria and thus plays a critical role in energy production within the cells mitochondria. One of the most beneficial effects of alpha-lipoic acid is its ability to regenerate other essential antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). What makes alpha-lipoic acid so effective as an antioxidant is its ability to quench free radicals in both aqueous and lipid environments. Please note that the R-lipoic acid provides a more biologically active form of lipoic acid than alpha-lipoic acid at only a slightly higher cost.
