Alpha-Lipioc Acid (ALA) Functions

1. Supreme antioxidant to fight aging
Aging is largely related to increased oxidative stress in the body. ALA is regarded as nature’s supreme antioxidant. It is unique in that it is both fat and water-soluble and can cross cells throughout the whole body to scavenge free radicals. It also regenerates other antioxidants such as vitamin C, E, GSH, etc. ALA effectively reduces oxidative stress, combating aging and degenerative symptoms.
2. Protects liver heath
ALA is well-known for its benefits to liver health. It has been scientifically proven to inhibit the synthesis of pro-inflammatory factors, reduce fat deposition and protect liver against harmful toxins. ALA also helps repair damaged liver cells and accelerate recovery of liver functions.
3. Promotes detoxification
Everyday our body is bombarded with various kinds of toxins (such as pesticides, alcohol, medications, and heavy metals), threatening our brain, liver and kidneys health. Studies proved that ALA promotes removal of toxins and heavy metals, effectively protecting our health against harmful substances.
4. Protects brain health
ALA is one of the few antioxidants that can cross the blood-brain barrier to scavenge free radicals in the brain, delaying various neuro-degenerative problems. It also protects the brain against attacks from toxins and heavy metals.
5. Boosts the tired brain
ALA participates in the energy production process and can cross the blood-brain barrier to support neuronal energy production, which helps boost the tired brain.
6. Relieves hangover symptoms
Hangover symptoms are primarily caused by the alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde. ALA promotes the breakdown of acetaldehyde, relieving symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc.
7. Reduces skin pigmentation and improve elasticity
ALA’s supreme antioxidant power also acts on skin to reduce pigmentation and protect elasticity. ALA’s detoxification feature improves skin complexion and brightens the skin.
