ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
Technical aspects
Its nomenclature is 1,2-dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid.
As a sulfur containing substance, ALA is considered a thiol compound.
ALA exists in two optical isomers forms, R and S.
After oral intake, ALA is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and is transported to different organs such as brain because it has the potential of freely cross the blood–brain barrier.
Naturally is found in its R-form bound to proteins, whereas in supplements lipoic acid is often found in free form.
Unlike other antioxidants, alpha lipoic acid has the ability to act in both fatty and aqueous media. This characteristic gives it a great advantage over other antioxidants.
Where can it be found?
Is present in foods generally bound to protein, at very low concentrations (around 0.3 mg/100 g for the richest natural sources, i.e., spinach for vegetables and kidney for meat).
