Benefits
* Antioxidant protection
* Fights free radicals
* Recycles other antioxidants in the body
As a part of the body's natural processes alpha lipoic acid is a crucial part of energy production. In combination with Vitamins C and A alpha lipoic acid can protect entire cells from oxidative stress from free radicals. Since it is a tiny molecule alpha lipoic acid can easily cross cell membranes and is quickly and effectively absorbed and as a water and fat soluble substance it can quench free radicals both from within and around the cell. Lipoic acid also indirectly recycles both Vitamin C and E so that they too are even more useful.
Although the body does produce this useful acid naturally it tends to use up most of its natural stocks for metabolic function, leaving not enough left over for maximum antioxidant function, which is why a lipoic acid supplement can be so beneficial.
So useful is alpha lipoic acid that in Germany alpha lipoic supplements have been approved for the tratment of diabetic neuropathology, a serious nerve disease, after several studies demonstrated that just 300-600mg extra daily can significantly improve the condition.
