R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid 200 mg GPH Capsules

Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulphur-containing fatty acid produced naturally in the body. In its native (R) form, it plays an important role as a coenzyme in the mitochondria and is therefore significantly involved in the energy metabolism of the cells. As a powerful antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid can protect tissue from damage caused by free radicals and even recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q-10 or glutathione after they have been used up. The fatty acid can also chelate metals such as mercury, lead, aluminium or cadmium and is therefore also used to remove heavy metals from the body. As alpha-lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble, it can cross the blood-brain barrier and is therefore also able to cleanse the brain of harmful metals. Usually, the human body produces sufficient quantities of alpha-lipoic acid for its daily needs. However, it is currently assumed that alpha-lipoic acid is insufficiently produced under certain physiological conditions. Furthermore, additional intake of alpha-lipoic acid as a dietary supplement provides the body with additional resources that can be utilised for antioxidant processes. Alpha-lipoic acid also supports the degradation of body fat and supports the liver in its function. R-alpha-lipoic acid 200 mg GPH capsules contain exclusively dextrorotatory lipoic acid.
