Reduces Free Radicals And Lowers
The Oxidative Stress On The Body!
Pure, unstabilized RLA has an extremely low GI absorption and
bioavailability, significantly lower than rac-ALA. Unstablized RLA utizilized in
most commercially available RLA products has an extremely poor
disintegration/dissolution profile. There is evidence that the two optical
isomers of alpha-lipoic acid (RLA and SLA) have different biological activities.
Only the R -isomer of alpha lipoic acid is synthesized naturally. A study in
humans found RLA to be more bioavailable than SLA when taken orally. RLA occurs
naturally in plants, animals and humans, and is the only form that functions as
a cofactor for mitochondrial enzymes. One of the primary functions of K-RALA is
an antioxidant and a cofactor during the conversion of food to energy (ATP)
inside the mitochondria of the cell.
Once inside the cells, K-RALA is convereted to its more potent form
R-dihydrolipoic acid, after reacting with and neutralizing an oxidant.
R-dihydrolipoic acid is the reduced form of RLA, and is the only form that
functions directly as an antioxidant. Free RLA is rapidly taken up by cells and
reduced to R-DHLA intracellularly. Although only R-DHLA functions directly as an
antioxidant, RLA may have indirect antioxidant effects. A significant factor in
aging is the decay of the mitochondria-and as we age, the efficiency of the
mitochondria diminishes, as well as their quantity per cell. K-RALA functions as
a critical cofactor in several important enzymes related to energy metabolism.
K-RALA is part of a potent antioxidant couple (with R-DHLA) that detoxifies the
free radicals released during the energy-producing process. K-RALA has a
significant effect on other cellular antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, as
well as CoQ10 and glutathione.
K-RALA lowers the oxidative stress on the body. This stress is due to the
tendency of oxidants to attack the boy's molecular components. A high level of
free radicals causes high oxidative stress. K-RALA has the ability to enter both
lipid and water environments, unlike other antioxidants that are not capable of
this dual function. K-RALA can protect the entire cell; the fatty cellular
environments such as membranes, as well as the water-soluble cellular components
that comprise the major part of the cell. K-RALA functions as a coenzyme by
enhancing the utilization and disposal of glucose.
