Alpha Lipoic Acid
Dietary supplement, 240 capsules
Alpha Lipoic Acid / Alpha-lipoic acid, 240 capsules, is a dietary supplement from the American company Nutricost. The product formula does not contain gluten and GMOs. The dietary supplement offers numerous health benefits and contributes to maintaining normal blood sugar levels and normal energy metabolism.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an organic compound found in all human cells and acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. It helps lower blood sugar levels, neutralizes free radicals, and supports the functioning of the nervous system. Alpha-lipoic acid is produced in the mitochondria - also known as the powerhouse of the cell, where enzymes are involved in converting nutrients into energy.
Alpha-lipoic acid is water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to work in every cell or tissue in the body. Its antioxidant properties are linked to several benefits, including lower blood sugar levels, neutralizing inflammatory reactions, slowing skin aging, and improved nerve function.
Health benefits:
Research suggests that alpha-lipoic acid may affect weight loss in several ways. It may reduce the activity of an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is found in the hypothalamus. When AMPK is overactive, it can increase feelings of hunger. On the other hand, suppressing AMPK activity can increase the number of calories the body burns at rest.
Studies in adults with metabolic syndrome have shown that it can reduce insulin resistance and lower blood sugar levels. Alpha-lipoic acid lowers blood sugar levels in both animals and humans. It is thought to help lower blood sugar by promoting processes that can remove fat stored in muscle cells. Alpha-lipoic acid may also reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy.
Research shows that alpha-lipoic acid may help fight the signs of skin aging. It reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and skin roughness, and offers antioxidant protection against the sun's harmful UV rays. Alpha-lipoic acid also increases levels of other antioxidants, such as glutathione, which protect the skin and may slow the development of signs of aging.
Memory loss is a common condition among older adults. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in memory loss. Because alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant, studies have found its ability to slow the progression of diseases characterized by memory loss, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Chronic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of developing diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Alpha-lipoic acid has been shown to reduce levels of several markers of inflammation - C-reactive protein (CRP), NF-kB, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 and IL-6.
- May reduce risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease
The antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid have the ability to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, which is associated with damage that increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. It also improves endothelial dysfunction, a condition in which blood vessels cannot dilate properly, which also increases the risks of developing heart attack and stroke. Alpha-lipoic acid intake has been found to reduce triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in adults with metabolic syndrome.
