R-Alpha Lipoic Acid - Antioxidant with double action, highlighted at the level of all tissues, membranes and cellular mitochondria.

Have you ever wondered why foods like broccoli and spinach are so healthy? The answer is that they contain fiber, vitamins and minerals, but also other important chemical compounds called "antioxidants". An important antioxidant is R-alpha lipoic acid.

Most likely, many of you have learned a lot about the many benefits of various antioxidants. For example, they can fight inflammation, help treat cancer or heart disease, prevent depression and cognitive decline. But have you ever wondered what antioxidants are and how they work in the body?


R-alpha lipoic acid (RAL) – a type of antioxidant – is a compound found in plant foods that you eat frequently. It annihilates free radicals, fights against inflammation and slows down the aging phenomenon. Many people, however, take R-alpha-lipoic acid for its ability to manage diabetes.


 

The difference between R-alpha Lipoic Acid and Alpha Lipoic Acid

R-alpha lipoic acid (RAL) is a natural form of lipoic acid, while alpha lipoic acid (AL) is a synthetic form of lipoic acid. These two forms of lipoic acid are almost identical from a chemical point of view, except that R-alpha lipoic acid has a more complex structure and is closer to the human body.


R-alpha lipoic acid is produced in the human body, while alpha lipoic acid is produced in the laboratory by chemical synthesis. R-alpha lipoic acid is considered more effective than alpha lipoic acid in terms of health benefits because it is easier for the body to absorb and use.

Both lipoic acids are considered powerful antioxidants and have been associated with various health benefits, such as improving mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, reducing oxidative stress, and improving symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.


R-alpha-lipoic acid is soluble in both water and fat, and this allows it to function in every cell or tissue in the body. In comparison, most other antioxidants are soluble in either water or fat. For example, vitamin C is only soluble in water, while vitamin E is only soluble in fats.


It appears that the antioxidant properties of R alpha-lipoic acid have several benefits. For example, it can reduce blood sugar and inflammation in the body, slow skin aging and improve nerve function.


 

Super R-Lipoic Acid Benefits

 

• support for balancing the level of free radicals (reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, including the hydroxyl radical), both through its own antioxidant properties and through the ability to support the action and reactivation of other antioxidants (e.g. vitamins E, C, coenzyme Q10, glutathione, catalase, superoxide-dismutase, glutathione-peroxidase and ascorbate-reductase)
• maintaining redox processes within normal limits; supports the production of energy in the mitochondria of cells (favors the production of ATP, nucleotides that store and transport chemical energy in cells)
• supporting the good functioning of the cardiovascular and cerebral systems by maintaining the normal rate of the lipid peroxidation process
• chelation of heavy metals from tissues by forming stable complexes, easy to eliminate
• maintaining a normal blood glycemic level; supports the sensitivity of insulin receptors and glucose metabolism
• maintaining the integrity and functions of the peripheral nerves, offering support in limiting the occurrence of some manifestations, such as tingling, fasciculations, numbness, change in sensitivity, burning sensation in the soles, etc.
• supporting normal carbohydrate metabolism and balancing the manifestations associated with increased blood glucose concentrations, over prolonged periods, by supporting the limitation of the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
• maintaining the process of transmitting the nerve impulse to the muscles; supports a normal level of acetylcholine
• favoring communication between neurons involved in an ischemic process; crosses the blood-encephalic barrier and maintains the cell structure against the action of free radicals
• maintaining a normal blood flow at cerebral, cardiac and peripheral level; supports the integrity of the vascular endothelium and vascular relaxation
• supporting the integrity of the liver cell membrane against the action of exogenous disturbing factors
