History and Usage:

To fully understand the benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) it is helpful to know a little about anti-oxidants and their role in get rid of and counteracting the impact of free radicals. A free radical is a normal by-product of metabolic processes in the body. Its atomic make up allows a free radical to easily attach to other atoms causing chemical reactions. While some free radicals are desirable, like those that help destroy viruses and bacteria, too much free radical can cause disease and contribute to the aging process. In addition to normal production by the body, free radicals result from environmental stresses like smoking and pollution. Anti-oxidants neutralize free radicals and detoxify the body.

ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) is a significant nutrient. First, because it is an influential anti-oxidant, it works to scavenge free radicals by reversing their effect on the body. Second, ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) functions to help regenerate Vitamins C or ascorbic acid and vitamin E or tocoferol, also antioxidants. To counteract free radicals, Vitamins C and E must give up part of their atomic structure. ALA makes them helpful again by replenishing this part.

ALA is also well known for its use in diabetes treatment. It is a key factor in the metabolism of glucose, making it useful energy for the cell. ALA has been used successfully in Germany for diabetes treatment since the 1960’s. Numerous human clinical studies have verified the efficacy of ALA in diabetic treatment.

Because ALA is soluble in both, water as well as fat, its benefits are improved as it can move into all parts of cells to deactivate free radicals. ALA is also vital for generating energy in the body and deficiencies may result in the slowing of the metabolic rate.
