Which alpha lipoic acid is most effective?

When buying alpha lipoic acid, it is particularly important to pay attention to qualitative differences. The main distinction here is between 

• R-alpha lipoic acid
• S-alpha lipoic acid 

Most of the food supplements available consist only to a small extent of the biologically active R-form and for the most part the ineffective S-form.

Only the 100 % pure R-alpha lipoic acid is effective, as it is an endogenous form with extremely high bioavailability. bioavailability.

S-alpha lipoic acid, on the other hand, is a synthetic form with a barely noticeable degree of effectiveness. Herbano therefore exclusively uses 100 % pure stabilized R-alpha lipoic acid.

6 areas of application in which R-alpha lipoic acid can unfold its special effects for your health

1. can R-alpha lipoic acid help with metabolic syndrome and diabetes?

Alpha lipoic acid supports the processing of the sugar molecule glucose in the body. If glucose can be broken down more quickly as a result, this naturally influences the blood sugar level: the blood sugar drops because the sugar in the blood decreases. 

Also with regard to insulin sensitivity and important key factors of cardiovascular health lipoic acid also plays an important role. This is because R-alpha lipoic acid lowers blood pressure and increases the body's response to insulin, resulting in a decrease in blood sugar levels.

In this regard, a review of experimental studies showed that R-alpha lipoic acid can be effective in attenuating several risk factors of metabolic syndrome, which is often the trigger for type 2 diabetes. trigger for type 2 diabetes.

According to this, alpha lipoic acid not only reduces blood pressure and the insulin resistance, but also improves the lipid profile and contributes to weight reduction contributes to weight reduction. Science is increasingly recognizing the potential of ALA as a therapeutic agent for patients with metabolic syndrome.

Can R-alpha lipoic acid also help if you are already suffering from symptoms?

Even if complications associated with diabetes have already occurred, alpha lipoic acid can help. For example, it has proven effective in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy has proven to be very effective. This is a nerve disorder caused by diabetes due to the toxic effect of high glucose levels on the nervous system. Typical symptoms of diabetic neuropathy are numbness, tingling and a painful, burning sensation in the extremities.

Research has shown that the administration of ALA leads to a significant improvement in symptoms. The oral intake of R-alpha lipoic acid for 5 weeks was able to significantly reduce the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. Doses of between 600 and 1,800 mg per day taken orally proved to be particularly effective.

2. how can R-alpha lipoic acid help in the treatment of polyneuropathy?

With regard to the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on the nerves, it can be concluded that its antioxidant properties have a significant supportive effect in diabetic polyneuropathy and can effectively relieve nerve pain.

Polyneuropathy is a painful nerve disease that is one of the most common complications of diabetes. It occurs in over 60 % of diabetics. The use of alpha lipoic acid in high doses is already recognized throughout Germany for the treatment of typical symptoms such as tingling, stinging, burning or sluggishness in the toes.

In this context, alpha lipoic acid ensures that the blood supply is maintained by preventing the formation of harmful free radicals, which occur due to the excessive sugar content in the blood and damage the nerves.

This enables the body effectively and sustainably from oxidative stress. oxidative stress. And overall, symptoms such as pain, burning, numbness and tingling are noticeably reduced and the blood supply to the nerves is effectively improved.

3. how R-alpha lipoic acid protects the nervous system from diseases

The special effect of alpha-lipoic acid on the brain enables it to penetrate all the components of the nerve cells.

In this context, new evidence suggests that alpha lipoic acid is effective in protection against one of the most feared diseases of old age - Alzheimer's disease. Researchers have identified a number of mechanisms by which ALA can help to prevent or at least alleviate Alzheimer's disease. This is because alpha lipoic acid produces the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is not sufficiently present in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

Furthermore, initial scientific results indicate that the effect of alpha-lipoic acid in the brain could also be beneficial in multiple sclerosis. Studies have shown that the administration of alpha-lipoic acid can effectively reduce the inflammatory symptoms associated with this disease. This is supported by numerous animal studies.

4. the antioxidant effect of R-alpha lipoic acid

R-alpha lipoic acid is one of the strongest antioxidants and can therefore protect cells from premature ageing by scavenging free radicals.

At the same time, the acid also reactivates other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and coenzyme Q10, which regain their full strength and effectiveness.  

And the production of glutathione is also promoted by R-alpha lipoic acid. The older we get, the more the supply of glutathione in our body decreases. However, glutathione is essential for healthy eyes (lens & retina) and radiant, firm skin. The powerful antioxidant also has the ability to break down toxic substances from the liver, such as heavy metals, and regenerate the liver.

Even in terms of hair growth , there are some studies and reports suggesting that alpha lipoic acid could reduce hair loss and promote hair growth.

It is assumed that the antioxidant effect of alpha-lipoic acid reduces oxidative stress, which can play a role in hair loss, as a possible mechanism. Oxidative stress can damage the hair follicles and thus impair hair growth. In addition, alpha-lipoic acid could promote blood circulation in the scalp and thus improve the supply of nutrients to the hair follicles.

All these factors are essential components in the fight against age and disease.

5 How can alpha lipoic acid support detoxification?

The universal antioxidant R-alpha lipoic acid may also protect the body from toxic (heavy) metals. Heavy metal poisoning can be caused by environmental influences or food intake. However, the acid has the ability to bind dangerous substances such as arsenic, cadmium, lead or mercury and thus effectively prevent their activation. In this way, it helps to protect the sensitive nervous system from the negative and dangerous effects of poisoning.

6 Can R-alpha lipoic acid really help you lose weight?

According to a study from 2020, R-alpha lipoic acid can even support weight loss. The participants who took R-alpha lipoic acid for six months lost a significant amount of weight compared to the placebo group - without having changed anything about their diet or exercise habits. On average, the test subjects lost 1 kg of pure body fat or 1.7 % of their body weight. This effect is due to the fact that alpha lipoic acid has the ability to reduce sugar.  

Can side effects occur when taking alpha lipoic acid?

Alpha lipoic acid is considered to be very well tolerated. Therefore, when adhering to the recommended dosages according to the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) there are no known side effects and no reports of overdoses.

However, there is evidence to suggest that high doses of alpha lipoic acid can contribute to an undersupply of thiamine. The side effects that occur here are allergic reactions such as hives, headaches, muscle cramps or skin rashes.
