Alpha Lipoic Acid, also called Thioctic Acid, is a
disulfide molecule (containing two thiol groups).
A thiol (or -SH) consists of a sulfur and a hydrogen atom.
This unique antioxidant is both lipid and water soluble, a potent
promoter of glutathione and an important co-factor in energy metabolism.
Apha lipoic acid is unique in that, like vitamin C,
it is effective as an antioxidant in water based tissues such as the
blood, and yet as dihydrolipoic acid it also is effective in protecting
fatty tissues and membranes, a role it shares with vitamin E. Thus alpha
lipoic acid and dihydrolipoic acid together function as a universal
antioxidant, meaning an antioxidant that quenches free radicals in both
lipid and water-soluble portions of tissues and cells.
Alpha lipoic acid is an important component in the
production of energy from carbohydrates.
It is involved throughout the complex multienzyme process that
catalyzes glucose (blood sugar) into energy.
Also, alpha lipoic acid both stimulates insulin activity and
reduces insulin resistance.
