DOCTOR`S FORMULAS Liposomal R-ALPHA Lipoic acid 250mg protection against oxidative stress 300ml

R-alpha-lipoic acid (RLA) is the R (+) isomer or the biologically active form of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally produced antioxidant needed by the body for the breakdown of carbohydrates, energy production and other important processes.

Main benefits

• Provides antioxidant protection at the cellular level - neutralizes free radicals and regenerates antioxidants depleted by cells (glutathione, coenzyme Q10, vitamins C and E, etc.).
• It supports the functions of the nervous system - it has a prophylactic effect against polyneuropathy, including diabetes mellitus, reduces insulin resistance and helps maintain normal blood sugar levels. Its use for these purposes is approved in Germany, where it is widely used as a natural remedy to support therapy. Because it restores glutathione in the mitochondria of nerve cells, it reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease and also supports recovery after a stroke.
• Regulates the immune response - reduces inflammation and relieves the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases.

Effects on cardiovascular health

Research shows that R-alpha-lipoic acid is particularly effective against cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease, hypertension, heart failure and atherosclerosis.

Alpha-lipoic acid improves endothelial functions and, with regular intake, can prevent oxidation of "bad" cholesterol (LDL), total cholesterol, lipoprotein (α) and other oxidative biomarkers, and reduce the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

Also useful for people with high blood pressure

In hypertension, the production of various inflammatory biomarkers increases, which in turn leads to reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide and excessive production of endothelin I – a peptide produced by the vascular endothelium, whose high levels provoke an increase in blood pressure and reduced vasodilation.

R-alpha-lipoic acid lowers inflammatory cytokines in blood plasma, thereby preventing pathological changes in cells and normalizing blood pressure levels.

Biological properties of R-alpha-lipoic acid

• It stimulates the production of glutathione in the body, the most powerful antioxidant with a vital role in health.
• Increases insulin sensitivity.
• It plays the role of an enzymatic factor in the Krebs cycle.
• Prevents peroxidation of lipoproteins.
• It exerts a binding effect on the ions of heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead) and accelerates their removal from the body.
• Protects neurons (nerve cells) from damage.
• Enhances the effect of other antioxidants such as vitamin C, CoQ10 and glutathione.
• Supports vasodilation (widening of blood vessels).

Advantages of the liposome technology used in Doctor's Formulas product development:

• protects R-alpha-lipoic acid from oxidation and degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach
• allows the unimpeded transfer of R-alpha-lipoic acid to the cells
• supports the optimal absorption of the entire daily dose (unlike other forms that are not completely absorbed after intake)

Liposome technology for creating supramolecular phospholipid complexes possessing a bilayer lipid structure significantly improves the therapeutic efficacy of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other components contained in nutritional supplements.

Liposomes belong to colloidal systems for the delivery of bioactive substances. They have the ability to carry the active components to the cells and improve their effectiveness in the body.
