Alpha Lipoic Acid & Acetyl L-Carnitine Details
|
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), known as the "universal" antioxidant, is present in almost all tissues of the body. It plays an important role in generating energy from food and oxygen in mitochondria (the "power plants" of cells). ALA may provide protective benefits against oxidative processes believed to contribute to degenerative diseases and aging. ALA is both water- and fat-soluble, meaning it can easily cross cell membranes, and may provide both interior and exterior cellular free radical protection. ALA is believed to regenerate itself and other essential antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, and coenzyme Q10. ALA may also increase levels of the antioxidant glutathione, found in the brain. Insufficient levels of glutathione have been linked to the increased risk for certain neurological conditions. ALA may also promote liver health. Acetyl L-carnitine (ALC) is similar in form to the amino acid L-carnitine, and also has some similar functions, such as being involved in the metabolism of food into energy. Studies indicate ALC promotes a healthy nervous system and memory. One of the major causes of aging is the deterioration of the energy-producing components of the cell which results in reduced cellular metabolic activity, accumulation of cellular debris, and eventual death of the cell. One of the most effective nutrients to maintain youthful cellular energy metabolism is ALC, which functions via several mechanisms to protect cells. ALC assists in the transport of fat through the cell membrane and into the mitochondria within the cell, where these fats are oxidized to produce the cellular energy ATP. ALC is absorbed into the bloodstream more efficiently than L-carnitine. It passes more easily through cell membranes, and is utilized more efficiently in the mitochondria of the cell.
