Lipoic acid, also known as lipoic acid, is a substance similar to vitamins that can eliminate and accelerate aging and pathogenic free radicals. It exists in the enzymes of mitochondria and enters cells after absorption through the intestines, possessing both liposoluble and water-soluble characteristics. Therefore, it can circulate freely throughout the body, reaching any cellular site and providing comprehensive efficacy to the human body. It is the only universal active oxygen scavenger with both liposoluble and water-soluble properties.
Lipoic acid, as an essential nutrient, can be synthesized by the human body from fatty acids and cysteine, but it is far from sufficient. Moreover, as age increases, the ability of the body to synthesize lipoic acid decreases. Since lipoic acid is only present in small amounts in foods such as spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, and animal livers, it is best to supplement with extracted nutritional supplements to obtain sufficient lipoic acid.
What are the uses of Lipoic acid?
1. Lipoic acid is a B-vitamin that can prevent protein glycation and inhibit aldose reductase, preventing glucose or galactose from being converted into sorbitol. Therefore, it is mainly used to treat and alleviate peripheral neuropathy caused by late-stage diabetes.
2. Lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can preserve and regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E. It can also balance blood sugar levels, effectively enhance the body’s immune system, protect against damage from free radicals, participate in energy metabolism, increase the ability of other antioxidants to eliminate free radicals, promote the restoration of insulin sensitivity, enhance the body’s ability to build muscle and burn fat, activate cells, and have anti-aging and beauty effects.
3. Lipoic acid can enhance liver function, increase the rate of energy metabolism, and quickly convert the food we eat into energy. It eliminates fatigue and prevents the body from feeling tired easily.
Can Lipoic acid be taken long-term?
In the instructions of some Lipoic acid preparations, although adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and dizziness are listed, they are very rare in terms of incidence. In 2020, Italy published a retrospective clinical trial that analyzed 322 subjects who used different doses of Lipoic acid daily. The results showed that no side effects were found after 4 years of use. Therefore, Lipoic acid can be safely taken long-term. However, since food can affect the absorption of Lipoic acid, it is recommended not to take it with food and preferably on an empty stomach.
