Bluebonnet Nutrition Alpha Lipoic Acid is both fat- and water-soluble and is known for its free-radical scavenger activity. Bluebonnet Nutrition Alpha Lipoic Acid (or thioctic acid) is a vitamin-like natural antioxidant that is involved in energy production (formation of adenosine triphosphate D ATP) from the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Bluebonnet Nutrition Alpha Lipoic Acid aids in recycling the antioxidant vitamins C and E. There is also evidence that it is involved in glutathione production in the liver and aids in the detoxification of the body. Dietary sources rich in alpha lipoic acid include flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, canola oil, soybeans and soybean oil and pumpkin seeds. Antioxidants Free radicals are generated by exposure to harmful environmental factors, such as: smog, ozone, chemicals, drugs, smoking and radiation, as well as during normal physiological processes, especially in defense against microbes and other foreign substances. Free radicals can damage DNA, proteins and lipids within cells, altering or inhibiting cellular function. Dietary antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, carotenoids and others, function to help control or eliminate free radicals by donating electrons, thus, maintaining cellular health by offsetting the damage they can potentially cause. Antioxidants that are available through the diet are considered exogenous antioxidants and include: amino acids [N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), taurine and L-glutathione (tripeptide)], vitamins C and E, carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin), and minerals (selenium and zinc).
