2, Introduction:
Lipoic acid is an organosulfur compound, one enantiomer of which is an essential cofactor for many enzyme complexes. This yellow solid is a carboxylic acid and features a cyclic disulfide, or ditholane ring, functional group. The R-enantiomer is biosynthesized and used as a cofactor. It is essential for aerobic life and is a common and sometimes controversial Dietary Supplement. It is usually called "lipoic acid," but this is not the form it takes in life.
3, Functions:
1) Alpha lipoic acid produce the energy for our body's normal functions.
2) Alpha lipoic acid converts glucose(blood sugar) into energy.
3) Alpha lipoic acid is also an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals.
4) Alpha lipoic acid can recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up.
5) Alpha lipoic acid increases the formation of glutathione.
