Alpha Lipoic Acid leads the antioxidant charge

By: Michael Manning

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a little known antioxidant to most people but has amazing super capabilities in terms of minimizing free radical damage in the body. A free radical is a destructive byproduct of cellular metabolism (similar to car exhaust) that is destructive to the cells. If left unchecked, which billions are every day, they can destroy cells walls or the cell itself, and even corrupt the DNA of the cell. The result? Out of control cell replication which can lead to cancer

These free radicals contribute to a host of physical issues associated with aging such as skin wrinkling, vision impairment, joint issues, and diseases ranging from arthritis to cancer to atherosclerosis. Time Magazine in Feb 2000 had a cover that read; The Secret Killer, The surprising link between INFLAMMATION and heart attacks, cancer, Alzhiemer's, and other diseases." What causes inflammation? Free radicals. Because of it's fat and water soluable properties it is able to penetrate all cellular regions in the human body. This is made possible because it is both fat and water soluble. This sulfur containing, vitamin like phyto-nutrient is packs much more firepower that your average antioxidant due to its easy absorption throughout the entire body. In terms of bodyfat reduction and building lean muscle tissue supplementing Alpha Lipoic Acid supports both processes. When taken on a daily basis it also protects the brain from free radical damage and reduces the chances of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, strokes, and dementia. There are numerous antiaging and wellness benefits derived from this super antioxidant. Unfortunately Alpha Lipoic Acid, necessary for energy production at the cellular level, is produced in limited supply in the body. It is, therefore, necessary to consume foods that or nutritional products that contain this substance for that powerful antioxidant punch. The consumed version is what is believed to form the protective barrier to all things resulting from free radical damage. Be careful when purchasing this nutritional supplement as quality doesn't transcend all product companies. Unfortunately, the health and wellness industry is ripe with imitator companies that put weak products into the marketplace and at the same time charging an unfair price given the quality of the product. Keep your eyes open for a nutritional drink or nutritional supplement or herb based product that has a synergistic response to Alpha Lipoic Acid.
