Alpha Lipoic Acid
Functional IngredientsAlpha Lipoic Acid is a racemic mixture of sulfur-containing organic compounds verified at ≥99.0% by HPLC, with a low melting point boundary of 60–62°C. Highly sensitive to thermal exposure and photolytic degradation. Optimized for hard-shell encapsulation and softgel suspensions; mechanical heat generation during tableting must be managed via active tooling cooling to prevent material melting and punch binding.
Key Benefits
- Functions as a universal metabolic antioxidant operating across both aqueous and lipid cellular phases
- Actively recycles oxidized states of vitamins C and E to sustain protective cellular antioxidant networks
- Serves as an essential catalytic cofactor for mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes to drive ATP production
- Supports glucose metabolism and cellular redox status across diverse tissue types
