It's needed by the body to produce the energy for our body's normal functions. Alpha lipoic acid converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy. Other names for it include lipoic acid and thioctic acid.Alpha lipoic acid is also an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals. What makes alpha lipoic acid unique is that it functions in water and fat, unlike the more common antioxidants, vitamins C and vitamin E, and it appears to be able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up.Glutathione is an important antioxidant that helps the body eliminate potentially harmful substances. Alpha lipoic acid increases in forming glutathione.UsesAlpha-lipoic acid (ALA) has been used as an antioxidant for the treatment of diabetes and HIV. It also has been used for cancer, liver ailments, and various other conditions.Alpha lipoic acid has also been suggested for cataracts, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, tinnitus, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, acne, rosacea, weight loss, vitiligo, skin aging, grey hair, tinnitus, restless leg syndrome, gastroparesis and hepatitis C, but large, well-designed studies are needed to see if it's effective for these conditions.Specification:ITEMSPECIFICATIONAppearance:Off-White to Light Yellow PowderParticle Size:100% through 20 mesh80% through 80meshAssay:R-(+)-Lipoic Acid Sodium≥99.0%(Area Normalization by HPLC)R-Alpha Lipoic Acid≥80.0%(External Standard by HPLC)Melting Point:230ºC~250ºCSolubility(H2O):Soluble in WaterSpecific Rotation:+80°~+95°Loss on Drying:≤3.0%Heavy metals :≤5 ppmLead:≤3 ppmArsenic:≤1 ppmCadmium:≤1 ppmMercury:≤0.1 ppmTotal Plate Count:≤1000cfu/gTotal Yeast & Mold:≤100cfu/gE.Coli:NegativeSalmonelia:NegativeStaphylococcus:Negative
