Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that
is soluble in both fat and water. It directly recycles vitamin C and indirectly
recycles vitamin E, providing additional antioxidant protection. It is also an
important component in the energy production process in the cells. Alpha-lipoic
acid is a coenzyme that assists in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-coA.
Acetyl-coA is the beginning point for the Krebs cycle, one of the body’s main
energy production cycles, which produces the high-energy molecule ATP.
Alpha-lipoic acid supports the immune system and also supports healthy liver
function.
Alpha Lipoic Acid and Diabetes
Alpha Lipoic Acid is prescribed in Germany for
adult onset of diabetes. There it has been shown to help for the following
reasons:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid increases the sugar burning
ability of insulin
- Alpha Lipoic Acid decreases insulin
resistance
- Alpha Lipoic Acid increases ATP production
- Alpha Lipoic Acid decreases the symptoms of
diabetic neuropathy
Recommended supplementation for diabetic
neuropathy is 800mg/day
Preserve brain function in aging adults.
Results from animal studies indicate that alpha-lipoic acid may improve
long-term memory. Much remains to be learned about whether this occurs in
humans, but it may be worth trying this powerful antioxidant when a disease such
as Alzheimer's starts to erode memory. In addition, alpha-lipoic acid holds
promise for preserving brain cells following a stroke or other type of trauma
that restricts blood flow to the brain.
