Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a fatty acid that functions like a vitamin, although it is not classified as a vitamin. As a coenzyme, ALA plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose that produces energy in cells. ALA also has antioxidant properties and this is important for controlling free radicals. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, ALA is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant."

Q. What is lipoic acid?
A.Lipoic Acid is a vitamin-like substance naturally produced by the human body. In addition to neutralizing dangerous free radicals, Lipoic Acid is also essential for the production of cellular energy. Alpha Lipoic Acid has powerful anti-oxidant properties. Because it dissolves in both water and fat, Alpha Lipoic Acid has been called "the universal antioxidant."

Q.What is an anti-oxidant and why are they important?
A.Anti-oxidants like Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E capture unstable oxygen molecules in the body and prevent them from damaging healthy cells in the body. Unstable oxygen molecules are also referred to as free radicals.

Q.How does Alpha Lipoic Acid slow down the aging process?
A.By capturing and flushing out free radicals that can harm healthy tissue. The process of oxidation is literally the same process that causes metals to rust. Think of Alpha Lipoic Acid as a rust remover for your body.

Q.Can I get sufficient Alpha Lipoic Acid by eating the right foods?
A.Yes, but most of us won't. Our diet does not include sufficient vegetables or the right kinds of food to provide sufficient amounts of Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Q.Has there been sufficient research on Alpha Lipoic Acid?
A.A meta-search on PubMed.com, the web site of the National Library of Medicine, showed over 1300 studies involving Alpha Lipoic Acid. These studies include both animal and human research and double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials.

Q.I don't have diabetes and I am in overall good health. Do I still need to take Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements?
A.Alpha Lipoic Acid assists the B vitamins in producing energy from the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats consumed through foods. Healthy people who take ALA report feeling better and more energetic.

Q.Can alpha lipoic acid help acne?
A.
To prevent or eliminate acne, you can take an alpha lipoic acid supplement.

Q.Is it safe?
A. Clinical studies and years of use by people in Germany, Italy and other European countries verifies that Alpha-lipoic acid is very safe at commonly recommended dosages, although occasionally it causes mild stomach upset and in rare cases it can trigger an allergic skin rash. If you experience any of these reactions, reduce the dose
