Product Description

                                          What is Herba Alpha Lipoic Acid?

 Alpha lipoic acid is one of lipoic acid, lipoic acid, C8H14O2S2, is an organic compound. Lipoic acid is absorbed into cells through the gut and is both fat - and water-soluble. Lipoic acid, as a coenzyme, plays a role in two key oxidative decarboxylation reactions, catalyzing the production and transfer of acyl groups in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Lipoic acid accepts the acetyl group of the acyl group and the acetyl group of the pyruvate, forming A thioester bond, and then transfers the acetyl group to the sulfur atom of the coA molecule. The dihydrothioctane amide formed by the cogroup can be reoxidized by dihydrothioctane dehydrogenase (requiring NAD+) to form oxidized thioctane amide. Alpha-lipoic acid contains a disulfide five-membered ring structure, has a high electron density, and has significant electron philicity and the ability to react with free radicals.
