Chemical structure

Lipoic acid exists as a mixture of two structural forms: closed-loop disulfide and open chain reduction. These two forms are converted to each other through an oxidation-reduction cycle. Like biotin, lipoic acid often does not exist free, but rather exists as a lysine residue in its carboxyl homologous enzyme molecule (such as dihydrolipoate acetyltransferase) ε- The NH2 group is covalently bound by amide bonds (structurally similar to biotin). The enzyme that catalyzes the formation of lipoamide bonds requires ATP and produces lipoamide enzyme conjugates, AMP, and pyrophosphate as reaction products. Lipoic acid was introduced by L. in 1951 J. Reed and others separated into crystals. As it is a sulfur-containing fatty acid, some people classify it as a fat soluble vitamin. However, due to its participation in biochemical reactions with coenzymes such as TPP and NAD in the body's metabolism, it has also been classified as a B-group vitamin based on the unity of structure and function.

 

Alpha Lipic Acid Efficacy:

Alpha Lipic Acid is a water-soluble and lipid soluble metabolic antioxidant, a vitamin like substance. Dr. Lester Parker, a professor of molecular and cellular biology at the University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world-renowned researchers of antioxidants α- Lipoic acid, also known as "super antioxidant," is the most functional and active antioxidant among all antioxidants.

1. Helping patients reduce their dependence  and hypoglycemic drugs

α- Lipoic acid is a versatile antioxidant that combines fat solubility and water solubility, and its action is more long-lasting than other antioxidants. Lipoic acid can balance blood sugar, promote glucose absorption, improve blood sugar control of diabetes patients, and reduce the use or hypoglycemic drugs.

2. Protect the nerve tissue of patients with diabetes and help treat peripheral neuropathy

Foreign research evidence α Lipoic acid can significantly improve the clinical symptoms caused by diabetes peripheral neuropathy, and has been recommended as an adjuvant treatment for diabetes peripheral neuropathy in Germany for more than 30 years. α Lipoic acid can protect the nerve tissue of patients with diabetes and help treat inflammation caused by protein deposition in nerve cells.

3 α Lipoic acid is a super strong antioxidant

α The antioxidant capacity of lipoic acid is 5-10 times that of grape seeds, and the antioxidant capacity of grape seeds is 20 times that of vitamin C. Vitamin E is 60 times more abundant, with both lipid and water solubility properties, and can be absorbed by various tissues and organs.
