YAMAMOTO® RESEARCH
Yamamoto® Research Acido lipoico Lipoic acid is a dietary supplement that provides 200 mg of lipoic acid per daily dose. Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur compound that is important for the physiological functioning of some enzymes that are involved in the metabolic processes involved in energy production, mainly in the mitochondrion. Alpha-lipoic acid can indirectly contribute to the maintenance of the cellular antioxidant state as it intervenes in the regeneration of reduced glutathione (GSH) (an antioxidant naturally produced by the body) and in the regeneration of vitamin C. The levels of LA significantly decrease with age. Alpha-lipoic acid is rapidly absorbed at the gastrointestinal level and is subsequently transported to the tissues. It is found in spinach, broccoli, beef, yeast and some offal.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an important cofactor for many reactions necessary for the production of energy from glucose. Furthermore, it allows better control of blood sugar, so much so that alpha-lipoic acid can be considered an "insulin mimetic" (Diesel et al, Biochemistry, 2006). Directions: take 1 capsule a day, with water.
