Alpha Lipoic Acid is a fatty acid found naturally inside every cell in the body. It is needed by the body to produce the energy for our body’s normal functions. Alpha Lipoic Acid is also a powerful antioxidant and neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals. Alpha Lipoic Acid, unlike other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, can function in water and fat and it appears to be able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up. A major benefit of Alpha Lipoic Acid is its ability to help increase Glutathione which plays a big part in dissolving toxic substances in the liver.
There are a long list of benefits provided by Alpha Lipoic Acid and some people have called it the “ideal antioxidant”.
Read below to find out more about the Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid:
- Build Lean Muscle:
Alpha Lipoic Acid mimics insulin which may enhance the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This helps to improve the ability of the body to build lean body mass and reduce fat. This can be good if you are trying to gain some healthy muscle mass. Alpha Lipoic Acid also works well with creatine to promote energy and improve your general metabolism.
- Improve Brain Function:
Alpha Lipoic Acid can cross the blood-brain barrier, a wall of tiny vessels and structural cells, and pass easily into the brain. It is thought to protect brain and nerve tissue by preventing free radical damage.
- Promote Healthy Eyes:
Alpha Lipoic Acid helps prevent the lens and retina of your eyes from degeneration and it also helps to alleviate glaucoma.
- Stay Young and Healthy:
Free radical damage is thought to contribute to ageing and chronic illnesses. As an antioxidant, Alpha Lipoic Acid can neutralize cell damaging free radicals and also improve your immune system.
