How it works

Lipoic acid protects the body from both intracellular and extracellular free radicals, it carries out chelating activities against heavy metals such as mercury and lead.

Equipped with a precious metabolic action especially in optimizing glucose metabolism by reducing the formation of advanced glycosylation complexes (protagonists of aging).

In light of the aforementioned biological activities, Alpha-Lipoic Acid is successfully used above all as an antioxidant.

It can also be used in other fields: eg.

• in diabetes to counteract its complications such as diabetic neuropathy (the literature reports the success in reducing some typical symptoms of neuropathy, such as paraesthesia, pain and peripheral burning sensation);
• in dyslipidemias;
• in complications of atherosclerosis;
• in neurodegenerative diseases
• and in damage from ischemia which are currently some of the clinical conditions in which Alpha-Lipoic Acid has proved effective

It is also indicated to inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, a cause of risk for atherosclerotic pathology due to the formation of the dreaded atheromatous plaque.

Vitamin B6: it is required for the synthesis of hemoglobin, a protein necessary to transport oxygen in the blood, it is involved in the metabolism of proteins and in the synthesis of some neurotransmitters.
It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
