Alpha-Lipoic Acid - " the miracle in a jar"
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is soluble in both water and oil, which allows Alpha-Lipoic Acid to enter all parts of a cell, including passing through the blood brain barrier. Thus it has become known as the super antioxidant. Alpha-Lipoic Acid has also been called " the miracle in a jar" because in studies it has been shown to have anti-aging effects. A potent antioxidant protecting against wrinkles and age-producing free radicals, Alpha-Lipoic Acid also boosts the effects of other antioxidants such as Vitamin C.
Many prominent studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of Alpha-Lipoic Acid. One of these studies was administered by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D. of Yale University School of Medicine. The findings in this study lead to Dr. Nicholas Perricone's writing about Alpha-Lipoic Acid's anti-aging properties in his book " The Wrinkle Cure" . Alpha-Lipoic Acid was shown to eliminate damaged collagen in skin, a factor which leads to wrinkled skin. A summary of this Alpha-Lipoic Acid study, " Alpha lipoic Acid (ALA) protects proteins against the hydroxyl free radical-induced alteration: rationale for its geriatric topical application" by N.
