Alpha lipoic acid is a completely natural molecule that exists deep inside every cell in our bodies. As you probably already know that antioxidants, to some degree, protect us from free radicals. Alpha lipoic acid can increase the positive effects of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. (ALA) actually protects these vitamins in the body. Another reason alpha lipoic acid is so special is simply this: it is both water-and fat-soluble. That means it's a universal antioxidant. Unlike Vitamin C and E, it can fight free radicals in any part of a cell and even enter into the space between the cells. Aging cells are characterized by decreased energy production, and decreased energy leads to a reduced ability to repair damage. Alpha lipoic acid can actually increase a cell's metabolism. The cell increases it energy production and capacity to heal. It can do wonders on aging skin! Inflammation of the skin is an open invitation to lines and wrinkles. Other antioxidants can only repair and prevent damage to a limited extent. Alpha lipoic acid has more staying power and also helps the other antioxidants stay around longer. And since alpha lipoic acid is both fat- and water-soluble, it can work in each and every part of skin cells. It even protects DNA. |
