Alpha R-Lipoic Acid

Alpha R lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in the body. It plays a vital role in protecting against free radical damage and replenishing other antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E.

The anti-inflammatory activity of the R form could be up to 10 times higher than that of ordinary alpha lipoic acid.

Alpha lipoic acid is called “the universal antioxidant” because it is active in an aqueous medium and in a lipid medium (both water-soluble and fat-soluble).

Alpha-Lipoic Acid, a powerful antioxidant

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an organosulfur compound naturally present in the human body, but it can also be found in certain foods and taken in supplement form including dietary supplements.

It acts as an antioxidant, protecting the body's cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

Inputs and Contributions:

Although the body produces alpha-lipoic acid, the amounts produced may be insufficient to meet needs. Dietary intakes of ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) are generally low, found primarily in spinach, broccoli, brewer's yeast, red meat, and some animal organs.

ALA is essential for energy metabolism, as it participates in the conversion of nutrients into energy. In addition, it plays a role in the regeneration of other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione, thus strengthening the body's antioxidant defenses.

Benefits:

The benefits of alpha-lipoic acid are varied and affect several aspects of health. As an antioxidant, it helps protect cells against oxidative damage, which can reduce the risk of diseases classified as chronic.

Additionally, ALA may show positive effects on nerve health by helping to protect nerves from damage and helping improve nerve function.

When to take alpha lipoic acid?

Alpha lipoic acid can be taken as a dietary supplement in various situations. Some people take ALA to support general health and prevent age-related diseases.

It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before beginning any alpha lipoic acid supplementation, particularly if you are taking other medications or have pre-existing medical conditions.
