Alpha Lipoic Acid is an essential "non-vitamin" nutrient produced in the body. Lipoic acid is an important component in the Kreb's cycle, which is the key cycle of reactions in the body ultimately producing 90-95% of our energy resources for optimal functioning.
Lipoic Acid supplementation is appropriate wherever increased energy is needed. This includes support for athletics, repairing and protecting the liver, energy for the brain and immune system, and overall vitality. Research has shown that lipoic acid protects the liver from toxins, such as metals. In fact, lipoic acid has been shown to completely reverse the liver destruction caused by the deadly amanita mushroom, which causes death in 60% to 90% of poisoned individuals as a result of liver destruction. Lipoic acid is also a versatile anti-oxidant as it is both water-soluble and fat soluble. Research has demonstrated that lipoic acid is indicated for anti-oxidant or toxicity protection in several conditions including diabetic neuropathy, open-angle glaucoma, heart disease, AIDS and any serious liver disorder.
