lipoic acid powder Usage and Synthesis.

Lipoic acid, also known as alpha-lipoic acid, refers specifically to the naturally occurring form, which was first isolated from pig liver by Reed in 1951. Lipoic acid is a disulfide compound of a vitamin-like group that is often considered a B vitamin. Lipoic acid is an important coenzyme in living organisms. It is an important cofactor of pyruvate dehydrogenase, ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and aminocaproate dehydrogenase, and one of the indispensable substances in the cycle of tricarboxylic acid.

The human body can synthesize enough lipoic acid on its own, and there have been no cases of lipoic acid deficiency. However, it has been found in studies that lipoic acid supplementation in vitro can inhibit lipid oxidation in nerve tissue, prevent protein glycosylation, inhibit aldose reductase, prevent glucose or galactose conversion to sorbitol, and is used in Europe as a drug for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy or nervous system complications. In addition to the role of coenzyme, lipoic acid also has a powerful antioxidant function, can eliminate the free radicals that lead to accelerated aging and disease, with antioxidant, anti-aging, improve immunity, prevent cardiovascular disease, relieve diabetes symptoms and other effects.

In the rise of antioxidant foods, lipoic acid is from the traditional medicinal to edible transition, in view of its powerful health function, in June 2004, Japan's Kao province will be classified from drugs to food, in addition, the United States, Canada and other regions will be lipoic acid as a dietary supplement.

Uses of lipoic acid.

1. Lipoic acid is a B vitamin that can prevent glycosylation of proteins, inhibit aldose reductase, and prevent glucose or galactose from forming sorbitol, so it is mainly used to treat and alleviate peripheral neuropathy caused by advanced diabetes.

2. Lipoic acid is a super powerful antioxidant, which can preserve and regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, balance blood sugar concentration, effectively enhance the body's immune system, protect it from free radical damage, participate in energy metabolism, increase the ability of other antioxidants to destroy free radicals, promote the recovery of insulin sensitivity, and enhance the body's ability to build muscle and lose fat. Activate cells, anti-aging beauty.

3. Lipoic acid can strengthen the function of liver activity, improve the energy metabolic rate, and make the food we eat quickly converted into energy, eliminate fatigue, so that the body is not easy to feel tired.
