Alpha Lipoic Acid - 300 mg

The alpha lipoic acid  is a complex coenzyme that our organism manufactures starting from a cysteine amino acid . The use of the alpha lipoic acid  with that of another amino acid, L-carnitine, gives, within sight of the most recent research, of the completely astonishing results in the prevention of symptoms of ageing.

It helps in the protection of the cells against the damage of the free radicals and it reaches practically each site of the cells, because each acid molecule is lipid and water soluble. The alpha lipoic acid  avoids the effects of free radicals in all the parts of the cellular membrane, the part of water or gel inside the cell and core.

With a difference in other antioxydants which have a specific function in the body, the alpha lipoic acid can be used as a free agent: in other words, if your rate of vitamin E or C is low, the alpha lipoic acid will provide this function temporarily. It also emphasizes considerably the capacity of vitamins C and E.

The general-purpose of the alpha lipoic acid itself is extremely important for various health fields . Facilitating the transformation of food introduced into simple sugar and fatty acids, it is a key element of energy metabolism of the cell. It is also a "universal" antioxydant. The alpha lipoic acid  converts itself quickly into acid dihydrolipidic, its antioxydant action is particularly sensitive to the level of the nervous system. It reinforces in these two forms, in addition, the action of other essential antioxydants such as vitamins C and E, the coenzyme Q 10 and the glutathion. It contributes to the detoxication of our organism by a chelating effect on toxic metals.

In the field of antiaging, the association of the alpha lipoic acid with the L-carnitine showed impressive results. This association indeed optimizes the action of the mitochondries, which provide the energy of our cells. The mitochondries are brought to produce free radicals, whose accumulation will end up obstructing many chemical processes, including theirs, and by thus accelerating the phenomenon of ageing. However the alpha lipoic acid eliminates free radicals on the mitochondrial level , while Acétyl L-carnitine reinforces the activity of the enzyme (Acétyl carnitine transférase) which plays a key part in the consumption of energy by the cell. It results from it that Acetyl carnitine finds a level of activity suitable for that of a young adult.
