98% Alpha lipoic acid Powder

Lipoic acid, also known as alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), is an endogenous disulfide compound similar to vitamins in the human body. It was first isolated in 1951 and named alpha-lipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid consists of a chain of eight carbon atoms (octanoic acid) and two sulfur atoms. Two sulfur atoms bond together to form a ring structure. Alpha-lipoic acid is the most efficient and safe antioxidant currently known, and is known as the "universal antioxidant". Its antioxidant capacity is 400 times that of vitamins C and E, and is far superior to currently popular ingredients such as grape seeds and green tea.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (α-LA) is a natural antioxidant with very strong antioxidant capacity. It is distributed in the liver tissue of animals and plants such as spinach and tomatoes. After α-LA is absorbed by the human body, it can be quickly converted into dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) within the cells and excreted out of the cells.

It is also a very important nutrient that plays a core role in the antioxidant network and is called the "universal antioxidant". Lipoic acid has become a common ingredient in multivitamin formulas, anti-aging supplements and even pet food in European and American countries.

Alpha-lipoic acid has long been used to promote health. It has been shown to promote antioxidant protection, detoxification and liver health, support blood sugar control and healthy nerve function, enhance metabolism, aid detoxification, and protect against aging.

Alpha-lipoic acid can enhance beta cell function and insulin sensitivity of peripheral tissues in patients with type 2 diabetes, and improve insulin resistance. In addition, α-lipoic acid’s unique antioxidant properties can maintain the body at a high antioxidant level, improve nerve conduction speed, restore nerve energy pathways, and have a significant effect on diabetes-induced neuropathy.

Alpha-lipoic acid has the dual protective effects of stabilizing blood sugar and preventing the combination of sugar and collagen in anti-glycation. It is one of the key development directions of anti-glycemic beauty products. At the same time, α-lipoic acid’s activation of vitamin C can make up for the reduced levels due to resistance to ultraviolet rays, and enhance the skin’s ability to resist external stimulation.

It has amazing antioxidant ability and can remove active oxygen components that cause skin aging. Since it is smaller than vitamin E molecules and is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, it is easily absorbed by the skin.

It is a chelating agent for many metals. It works synergistically with dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid to chelate cadmium, nickel, copper, lead, ferric iron and other metal ions to reduce the toxicity of metals to the liver. Therefore, it was also used as a chelating agent in the early days. Antidote for food poisoning or metal poisoning.

Supplements can significantly reduce body fat levels, especially in women and heavier people.

It has remarkable efficacy in the treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases. Alpha-lipoic acid can treat Parkinson's disease by reducing or inhibiting iron deposition and protecting neurons, and the therapeutic dose does not cause obvious side effects.

It mainly regulates blood lipid levels, enhances the body's antioxidant capacity, and protects vascular endothelial function.

Alpha-lipoic acid is also a highly effective antioxidant and is widely used in nutritional supplements and cosmetics.

In the pharmaceutical field, alpha-lipoic acid is widely used in the prevention and auxiliary treatment of diabetes and its related complications. It can enhance glucose metabolism, weaken oxidative stress, relieve symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, prevent diabetic cataracts, and prevent diabetic cardiovascular damage.
