Different types of alpha lipoic acid can help treat cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, and other chronic diseases, and it can reduce the incidence of fundus diseases and glaucoma in diabetes.
The biochemical reaction involved by lipoic acid is mainly in the energy center of cells, the mitochondria. Lipoic acid is also an essential factor in the energy metabolism cycle of human glucose. Thiamine-containing acids in the diet are the source of elements needed for lipoic acid production. Although the human body can synthesize the lipoic acid required for basic physiological reactions by itself, the additional lipoic acid can significantly improve the sensitivity of cells with diabetes to insulin and increase the production of ATP in the energy cycle of cells, which has a positive significance for the improvement of myocardial disease complicated by diabetes.
In addition, alpha lipoic acid antioxidant is a non-hydrophilic soluble antioxidant, but it can also play an antioxidant role in water-soluble and non-water-soluble environments. It has therapeutic effects on neuropathy caused by diabetes and alcohol or chemically toxic substances, and it also helps to repair long-term excessively stimulated hepatocytes. The German medical community has classified high-dose lipoic acid as a drug for the treatment of diabetes or multiple neuropathy caused by alcohol and chemical substances.
Lipoic acid including the R alpha lipoic acid powder is also used in topical beauty and maintenance. Clinical studies in dermatology have confirmed that lipoic acid has the effect of reducing the formation of fine lines on the skin and protecting skin cells from UV damage.
