Alpha-lipoic acid is a compound studied for its antioxidant properties. It is often referred to as a "universal" antioxidant due to its ability to interact with free radicals in both water and lipid environments. This compound is involved in cellular processes and energy metabolism within the mitochondria.
Research has explored the role of oxidative stress in cellular function. Alpha-lipoic acid's antioxidant properties allow it to interact with free radicals, potentially supporting cellular function. It may also bind to metals, which can help manage certain substances in the body.
Alpha-lipoic acid functions as a cofactor for key enzymes involved in energy metabolism, contributing to cellular energy processes.
Studies suggest that alpha-lipoic acid may interact with other antioxidants in the body, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione. It may also support the functions of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx).
Research indicates that alpha-lipoic acid might assist in maintaining vitamin E levels by interacting with tocopherol radicals.
Clinical studies generally consider alpha-lipoic acid safe for use. Mild and reversible side effects have been reported, such as allergic skin reactions and potential hypoglycemia in some individuals with diabetes.
For those interested in a more biologically active form, R-lipoic acid is available but may be more costly.
