Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. Unlike other antioxidants lipoic acid is both fat and water-soluble and is easily transported across cell membranes. This unique quality offers protection against free radicals both inside and outside the cell while other antioxidants may provide only extracellular protection*. Lipoic acid is able to regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin C and glutathione (after scavenging free radicals). Lipoic acid has shown great benefits in cardiovascular health and balancing blood glucose*. What is lipoic acid? Lipoic acid (LA) is a natural antioxidant. It is gradually becoming recognized for its unique abilities in the therapy andprevention of a broad range of diseases. In addition to antioxidant properties, LA helps the body use glucose; hence its potential for helping people with diabetes. An antioxidant is any chemical, natural or synthetic, that neutralizes toxins or free radicals, thus protecting our cells from damage. A free radical is an unstable molecule with at least one unpaired electron. It reacts by trying to steal an electron from a neighboring molecule, causing damage in the process. Cigarette smoke, fried foods, ozone, excessive sun exposure, car exhaust, and air pollution are common causes of free radicals. It is believed that aging and many degenerative conditions are due to free-radical damage to cells. For instance, if a free radical damages our DNA, the eventual consequences could be a higher risk of cancer. If the damage occurs in arteries that supply blood to the heart, it could eventually lead to a heart attack. Thus, it has been proposed that the intake of antioxidants could potentially slow down this damage. ALA is easily absorbed from the diet or when taken as a supplement. It can enter the bloodstream and travel to many parts of the body. It can even cross the blood-brain barrier. Cells can absorb LA and transform it into a related antioxidant known as dihydrolipoate, which is exported to areas outside a cell. Therefore, LA can protect cells on both the inside and outside.
