YAMAMOTO® RESEARCH
Yamamoto® Research Acido Lipoico Acido Lipoico is a food supplement that provides 300 mg of lipoic acid per daily dose. Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur compound important for the physiological functioning of some enzymes that intervene in the metabolic processes involved in energy production, mainly in the mitochondrion. Alpha-lipoic acid can contribute indirectly to the maintenance of cellular antioxidant status as it intervenes in the regeneration of reduced glutathione (GSH) (an antioxidant naturally produced naturally by the body) and in the regeneration of vitamin C. LA levels decrease significantly with age. Alpha-lipoic acid is rapidly absorbed at the gastrointestinal level and is subsequently transported to the tissues. It is found in spinach, broccoli, beef, yeast and some offal.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an important cofactor for many reactions necessary for the production of energy from glucose. Furthermore, it allows better blood sugar control, so much so that alpha-lipoic acid can be considered an "insulin mimetic" (Diesel et al, Biochemistry, 2006). Directions: take 1 capsule per day with a glass of water.
