Alpha Lipoic Acid Powder for Blood Sugar Management

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid

Lipoic acid can be naturally synthesized in the human body and assists in converting glucose into energy. A healthy body will naturally synthesize enough lipoic acid, but in some special cases, lipoic acid needs to be supplemented. It is also an antioxidant that neutralizes harmful chemicals like free radicals. Contrary to the antioxidants vitamin E (which only works in fat) and vitamin C (which only works in water), alpha lipoic acid powder for blood sugar management can work in both water and fat. It also enables other antioxidants to neutralize free radicals and regenerate them.

Currently known alpha lipoic acid is the most efficient and safe antioxidant, and is known as the "universal antioxidant”. Its antioxidant capacity is 400 times that of vitamins C and E, and is far superior to currently popular ingredients such as grape seeds and green tea.

Scientific research has confirmed that human body can synthesize alpha lipoic acid (ALA) by itself, but this synthesis ability is very weak and gradually decreases with age.

Daily diet can also provide a certain amount of ALA. For example, spinach is the richest source, but the ALA content in 7 kilograms of fresh spinach is only 2 mg, so daily diet is far from meeting the needs of the human body. Supplementing an appropriate amount of ALA is beneficial to human health.

Alpha lipoic acid is very safe and is a widely recognized nutritional supplement. and can even be consumed as food in Japan. Long-term use of ALA will not produce cumulative effects or side effects, and it is a safe and efficient antioxidant.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Physical and Chemical Properties

Why Alpha Lipoic Acid Powder for Blood Sugar Management

Relieve diabetes symptoms

The intervention of diabetic complications is the longest-standing value of α-lipoic acid. First of all, α-lipoic acid can enhance the β-cell function and insulin sensitivity of peripheral tissues in patients with type 2 diabetes, and improve insulin resistance.

And alpha-lipoic acid can also promote the absorption of glucose in the body and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Secondly, the unique antioxidant properties of α-lipoic acid can maintain the body at a high antioxidant level, improve nerve conduction speed, restore nerve energy pathways, and have a significant effect on neuropathy induced by diabetes.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Powder Benefits for Skin

Help "anti-glycation"

Anti-glycation is a popular new health concept. Its purpose is to reduce the damage to cells caused by the reaction end products of reducing sugars and proteins generated under non-enzymatic conditions in the body. The most typical one is to reduce the damage to skin collagen.

Collagen renews more slowly than other proteins and is more susceptible to glycation reactions, leading to dull skin and reduced elasticity.

In the anti-glycation market, antioxidants are the absolute main force and can effectively resist the impact of glycation reaction on the skin. Alpha-lipoic acid has the dual protective effects of stabilizing blood sugar and preventing the binding of sugar and collagen in anti-glycation. Alpha lipoic acid is an anti-glycation agent and is one of the key development directions of sugar beauty products.

At the same time, α-lipoic acid’s activation of vitamin C can make up for the reduced levels due to resistance to ultraviolet rays, and enhance the skin’s ability to resist external stimulation.

Anti-aging

Alpha lipoic acid powder has amazing antioxidant effect and can remove active oxygen components that cause skin aging. Since it is smaller than vitamin E molecules and is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, it is very effective on the skin and is absorbed by skin quite easily.

In addition, as long as you take in enough α-lipoic acid, you can minimize the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin from the body. It can also alleviate skin damage caused by age and generate new skin, keep the skin moisturized, and activate the body.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Powder Benefits for Human Body

Blood Sugar Regulation

ALA may improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.

Inflammation Reduction

ALA may help reduce inflammation in the body, contributing to overall health and potentially alleviating symptoms of inflammatory conditions.

Weight Management

Recently, a study from Oregon State University and Oregon Health and Science University showed that using a specific supplement called lipoic acid in overweight people in a clinical trial can help reduce weight. 

The study, published in the Journal of Nutrition, analyzed the effects of 24 weeks of daily alpha lipoic acid 600mg supplementation on body weight in a specific overweight group. 

"These data clearly show that people who took lipoic acid supplements experienced significant reductions in body weight and body fat," said Balz Frei, director emeritus of OSU's Linus Pauling Institute and one of the scientists on the study.” For women and heavier people, Especially significant.”

Protect Liver

Alpha-lipoic acid is a chelating agent for many metals. It works synergistically with dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid to chelate metal ions such as cadmium, nickel, copper, lead, and ferric iron to reduce the toxicity of metals to the liver.

Therefore, it was also used as an antidote for food poisoning or metal poisoning in the early days.

At the same time, the synergistic effect of α-lipoic acid and other antioxidants in the body can reduce free radical damage to liver cells, reduce inflammatory reactions, and maintain liver function.

Some studies have pointed out that alpha-lipoic acid can remove fat accumulation caused by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and reduce the burden on the liver.

Cardiovascular Disease

Atherosclerosis is the most common and important of a group of blood vessel diseases. The clinical manifestations are mainly symptoms of the affected organs. Alpha lipoic acid mainly regulates blood lipid levels, enhances the body's antioxidant capacity, and protects vascular endothelial function.

Neurodegenerative Diseases

Alpha lipoic acid powder has significant efficacy in the treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are common neurodegenerative diseases.

Oxidative stress is an important reason for the occurrence and development of these diseases. Research shows that α-lipoic acid may protect against oxidative stress damage by inhibiting Aβ protein damages hippocampal nerve cells and improves the learning and memory abilities of AD model rats.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Applications
