Alpha Lipoic Acid - Glucose Uptake. Titration Tested. Antioxidants are absolutely vital to our health - and the healthier we are, the happier we'll be and the longer we'll live. Dr. Packer, a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world's leading authorities on antioxidants. Therefore, when Dr. Packer says that "Alpha Lipoic Acid is the most versatile and powerful antioxidant in the entire antioxidant defense network," we should take serious note and listen. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), a vitamin-like substance found in foods and produced by the body in limited amounts, may be the most valuable of all antioxidant nutrients. In addition to neutralizing both oxygen and nitrogen free radicals, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) has been studied for its ability to actually repair oxidative damage, to regenerate other antioxidants and to detoxify the body of excess metals. Alpha Lipoic Acid has been shown to have a protective effect on the liver, cardiovascular, and immune systems. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is one of the many substances produced by the body in large quantities in young people, but production declines with aging. Health conscious individuals may inadvertently limit their intake of this important nutrient by reducing their intake of red meat, one of the richest dietary sources of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Alpha Lipoic Acid deficiency has been linked to muscle atrophy, reduced neuro-cognitive (brain) function and increased lactic acid accumulation (muscle soreness). Lower serum levels of Alpha Lipoic Acid are frequently found in patients with cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes and heart disease. Alpha Lipoic Acid Helps Protect Against the Diseases of Aging Alpha Lipoic acid provides powerful antioxidant protection against three common afflictions associated with aging: stroke, heart attack, and cataracts. It does this by suppressing the action of free radicals in the cells of brain, heart, and eyes. Free radicals are reactive molecules that put our cells under stress, attack them, and cause deterioration of their functions. Alpha Lipoic Acid Helps Sustain and Regenerate Other Antioxidants Dr. Packer's research has shown that 5 important antioxidants: Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Glutathione, and AlphaLipoic acid form a unique "antioxidant network". They interact with each other in such a way as to regenerate their antioxidant capabilities after they have neutralized free radicals. Ordinarily when an antioxidant molecule neutralizes a free radical, it becomes oxidized and can no longer be ready to take on another free radical - it loses its antioxidant capabilities. According to Dr. Packer, when Alpha Lipoic acid is in this "antioxidant network", it helps regenerate the 4 other antioxidants and they can be used over and over again as antioxidants. Alpha Lipoic Acid - "The Antioxidant's Antioxidant" Because Alpha Lipoic acid is the key antioxidant in this regeneration process, Dr. Packer calls it "the antioxidant's antioxidant." Sources of Alpha Lipoic Acid We get small amounts of Alpha Lipoic acid from certain foods, such as potatoes, spinach, and red meat. To get the full benefits of this remarkable and very important antioxidant, we need to supplement our intake of Alpha Lipoic acid. How Much Alpha Lipoic Acid Do We Need? The tiny amounts we get from food are nowhere near an adequate amount necessary to provide the optimum antioxidant activity that will give us the benefits that Alpha Lipoic acid can provide. Dr. Packer recommends taking at least 100mg a day to enable our bodies to get Alpha Lipoic's function as a super-antioxidant. Alpha Lipoic Acid is Titration Tested.
