An Efficient Antioxidant

We at Ingredients To Die For are very excited to bring you Alpha Lipoic Acid. Alpha Lipoic Acid is an effective path to healthy skin. Its optimization of fundamental skin function, improvement of oxygen levels and enhancement of cellular energy is unequalled. Alpha Lipoic Acid plays an important role in the skins metabolic process where it assists other enzymes in the conversion of glucose, fatty acids and other energy sources.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is well known to for its ability to help prevent free radical damage to the skin. This wonderful ingredient, if present in excess of the amount required for basic enzymatic processes, will perform as a biological antioxidant by inhibiting free radical reactions in the tissues. Alpha Lipoic Acid has been researched for the last four decades in detailed studies on the biological activity of this unique compound. Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique, and unequalled, in several ways. Unlike other antioxidants, which work only in water (such as vitamin C) or fatty tissues (such as vitamin E), alpha-lipoic acid is both fat- and water-soluble allowing it to perform throughout the body. The true plus...antioxidants are depleted as they attack free radicals, but evidence suggests Alpha Lipoic Acid may help to regenerate these other antioxidants and make them active again.

The salient features of Alpha Lipoic Acid as a biological antioxidant include the following:

• both fat and water soluble
• proven to quench hydroxyl radicals, hypochlorous acid and singlet oxygen which have been implicated in free radical chain reactions.
• proven to chelate metal ions such as iron, copper, cadmium which catalyze auto-oxidation reactions.
• when reduced to DiHydroLipoicAcid can help to recycle vitamins C and E in the body
• increases the levels of CoQ (ubiquinone) which recycles Vitamin E.
• reaches the tissues rapidly through its high absorption and bioavailability where it can regenerate glutathione, which when low has been correlated with degenerative disease conditions and aging.
