Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid is an organic compound that acts as a coenzyme to participate in the acyl transfer in the metabolism of substances in the body, eliminating free radicals that cause accelerated aging and disease. Lipoic acid is absorbed in the body through the intestinal tract and enters the cells, and has both fat-soluble and water-soluble properties.

Alpha lipoic acid should be an essential supplement for every patient with diabetes or mild hyperglycemia, and it is also used in compounded liver products as a nutrient necessary for liver cell repair. After the age of 45, people who have a family history of diabetes, even if they have not yet developed clinical symptoms of diabetes, can prevent and delay the incidence of diabetes with diet, exercise, weight control and low-dose Alpha lipoic acid supplementation. For people with skin that is prone to dryness and fine lines or aging skin, anti-wrinkle skin care products with lipoic acid as the main ingredient can also be chosen.

The disorder is caused by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood, resulting in free radical damage to nerve cells. Alpha Lipoic acid can play a role in inhibiting nerve damage through its antioxidant effect. In addition, it helps diabetic patients to respond to insulin, a glucose-regulating hormone.

2. Anti-aging. The best Alpha Lipoic acid has a surprising antioxidant capacity to remove reactive oxygen species that cause skin aging, and because it is a smaller molecule than vitamin E, and is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, it is easily absorbed into the skin.

3. Strengthen liver function. it can strengthen the function of liver activity, so it is also used as an antidote for food poisoning or metal poisoning in the early days.

4. Reduce the incidence of cancer.

5.it also can effectively improve the biochemical index of the liver (including free fatty acids, IL-6 cytokines, triglycerides) and reduce inflammation, and has an improvement effect on fatty liver.

6. Appetite suppression. also has the effect of reducing appetite and promoting the secretion of adiponectin, a specific protein in fat, which is an important predictor of metabolic abnormalities and has the effect of increasing insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammation and anti-vascular sclerosis.

2. Although has preventive and complementary effects on neuropathy, the first dose may promote the worsening of nerve damage.

About the contraindications of it use.

Second, avoid taking it together with minerals. It will chelate heavy metals, so it may also reduce the minerals in the body (such as iron), making anemia worse. Once again, avoid taking it together with acidulants. Alpha Lipoic acid interacts with acidophilus gastricus, so it should be avoided in combination with acidophilus. At the same time, it is prohibited for people with thyroid dysfunction. High doses of it should be avoided in people with depressed thyroid or hyperthyroidism because of the interaction between lipoic acid and thyroxine, which can cause palpitations. Finally, do not drink too much alcohol when taking it. can cause thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, and alcohol and it use can worsen vitamin B1 deficiency, as carbohydrate metabolism requires B-complex vitamins to produce energy. Side effects can be avoided by taking it in combination with B-complex.

Intravenous drip: 250-500mg in 100-250ml saline drip, drip time about 30min. 300-600mg per day for severe cases, 2-4 weeks as a course of treatment. 2. Dose for the elderly No dose adjustment is necessary.
