Alpha lipoic acid is a disulfide compound also known as thioctic acid. Lipoic Acid is a unique antioxidant because it’s both water- and fat-soluble. Other familiar antioxidants can only operate inside their soluble media, such as vitamin E in fatty membranes of cells and vitamin C in watery sections of cells. Because of its twofold solubility, lipoic acid can operate in both fatty and aqueous phases of the cell. This is important and makes lipoic acid an accomplished antioxidant able of defending against an extensive assortment of invading free radicals.
Alpha lipoic acid contains both sulfur atoms and carboxyl groups in its chemical structure, making it a very reactive compound. Alpha lipoic acid is converted into the reduced form, dihydrolipoic acid, inside of cells, and dihydrolipoic acid possesses two sulfhydryl groups.
Alpha lipoic acid is found naturally in foods such as broccoli, heart, liver, spinach, tomato, heart and animal muscle tissue. Since it’s attached to a protein called "lipoyllysine", its bioavailability from food may be somewhat limited. Preliminary research indicates that the lipoic acid found in supplements could be more biologically active than lipoic acid bound to this protein in food. Kirkman’s Alpha Lipoic Acid capsules can be swallowed or the contents of the capsules mixed in food or beverages.
It’s crucial to use a high quality lipoic acid to get the desired effects. There’s numerous low caliber products available in the United States, which may not be as pure or powerful, so it’s important to trust your supplier of lipoic acid to deliver high product quality. Kirkman® uses only the highest quality lipoic acid available.
