Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), also known as thioctic acid or simply lipoic acid, is a vitamin-like substance that has generated a lot of interest in recent years, especially with regard to both its ability to act as a potent antioxidant , as well as for its role in energy production.
Structurally, it is a fatty acid that contains two sulfur atoms (at carbon 6 and carbon 8) linked by a disulfide bridge and, therefore, is considered an oxidant. It can be synthesized by the body from octanoic acid. Among its sources of obtaining are spinach, broccoli, liver, heart, kidney, and brewer's yeast.
The body's ability to synthesize this substance from the diet is very limited and therefore it is difficult to obtain effective amounts of Alpha Lipoic Acid. Its supplementation has become commonplace and is currently widely recommended by professionals, especially for those weakened by oxidative stress.
The nutritional and clinical use of lipoic acid was recognized and promoted commercially in the mid-1950s. RLA is a classic example of an orthomolecular nutrient, as Linus Pauling put it.
Each tablet provides a total of 250 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid, making it one of the most powerful products on the market and its tablets are manufactured under strict GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing standards.
