It is an essential coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids and plays a key role in energy production. Alpha-lipoic acid can also be used as a dietary supplement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt consists of two molecules: alpha-lipoic acid and dihydrolipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid is a fat-soluble antioxidant found in certain foods such as spinach, broccoli and yeast. It has a unique structure with two linked sulphur atoms and a six-carbon backbone. It also helps to break down carbohydrates and fatty acids and convert them into energy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDihydroliponic acid is a water-soluble antioxidant and is produced by the body. It has a five-carbon backbone and three sulphur atoms. Dihydroliponic acid is responsible for the regeneration of antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe effects of alpha-lipoic acid are currently still being investigated. It is referred to as a ‘universal antioxidant’ as it is both fat-soluble and water-soluble and can therefore protect cells in both the fat- and water-based parts of the body from oxidative damage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFound in many foods\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are various foods that contain alpha-lipoic acid. Red meat, such as beef or pork, is a good source. Liver, kidney and heart also contain large amounts. Vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and tomatoes contain moderate amounts, as do certain herbs and spices such as cayenne pepper, garlic and oregano. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther foods containing alpha-lipoic acid include potatoes, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, carrots, beetroot and turnips. Nuts and seeds such as walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and linseeds are also good sources. Wheat germ oil and brewer’s yeast are also rich in the acid. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn addition to the foods mentioned above, there are also dietary supplements that provide the body with this essential nutrient. Dietary supplements are a convenient way to obtain a concentrated dose of this important nutrient. They can also be a good option for those who find it difficult to get enough alpha-lipoic acid from their diet alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe production of the dietary supplement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe main sources of alpha-lipoic acid in dietary supplements come from either animal or plant sources. Animal sources are usually organ meats such as liver, heart or kidneys, whilst plant sources are typically derived from seed oils or wheat germ. For those who avoid animal products but still wish to ensure their body receives an optimal supply, taking a dietary supplement is advisable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDietary supplements containing alpha-lipoic acid are generally produced through chemical synthesis, in which a specific type of molecule is synthesised from another molecule. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first step in the chemical synthesis of ALA is the reaction between two molecules known as alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and riboflavin. This reaction produces a compound called dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA). DHLA is then converted into ALA by reacting with another molecule, known as a thiol. This process is known as thiolation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe final step in the production of ALA is a process known as oxidation. This process is used to produce ALA from DHLA. Oxidation usually takes place with the aid of a chemical called hydrogen peroxide. This reaction produces ALA, which is then purified and packaged in capsules or tablets for human consumption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you wish to buy alpha-lipoic acid in Switzerland, online shops such as VITALOVE are a good option.

Furthermore, it can be easier to take a dietary supplement than to buy the foods that contain the acid. The capsule form is also much more concentrated than dietary sources, meaning you can achieve the same benefits with a smaller amount.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen taken in capsule form, ALA can also be combined with other nutrients to enhance its effects. For example, some supplements contain a combination with omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and promote general health.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"r-alpha-liponsaure-100-mg-pro-tagesdosis-100-kapseln","title":"R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Capsules - 100 Capsules","description":"\u003ch2\u003eR-Alpha-Lipoic Acid Capsules in Active R-Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VITALOVE R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid capsules contain ALA in the R-form.
