I want to talk about the benefits of

alpha lipoic acid now what is alpha

lipoic acid well your body makes it and

you can get it as a supplement it’s in

certain foods as well it’s in red meat

it’s in certain vegetables now when

you’re taking it as a supplement you’re

getting a lot more of it like a thousand

times more of it than your body can make

but alpha lipoic acid is a very powerful

antioxidant and in your body you have

networks of antioxidants so when one

antioxidant does its job and it donates

an electron to this free radical which

is an unpaired electron so it’s helped

stabilizes this free radical it will

borrow an electron from another

antioxidant so alpha lipoic acid is

always helping other antioxidants like

glutathione and vitamin E to help them

recharge so it helps rejuvenate other

antioxidants so antioxidants are

scavengers for free radicals so they

basically kind of the act as a sponge to

soak up free radicals and so let’s say

for example you’re diabetic and you have

high levels of glucose alpha lipoic acid

will protect the tissues from that or

let’s say you have damage within your

mitochondria and you have this excess

production of oxidation it’s called

gross

alpha lipoic acid can help counter that

so no matter if the oxidation is coming

in from the outside as in certain types

of chemicals or whatever or being

produced by your own body from this own

your own cells like in hydrogen peroxide

or other types of compounds that give

free radicals so this compound is

designed to protect that oxidation from

that now alpha lipoic acid it can also

act as a key later to help detoxify

mercury from the body now mercury in the

body it will also produce oxidation and

so will other heavy metals

well alpha lipoic acid can help counter

that and help to chelate it so it’ll

connect onto it or bind and pull it out

of the body so it’s really good for

mercury detox

and it’s a lipid antioxidant so it’s

really good for areas of your body that

are aligned with lipids as in nerves the

nerves are lined with a lipid or a fat

layer called myelin

so if someone has MS for example which

is an autoimmune condition alpha lipoic

acid would be really good to minimize

the side effects from that condition

it’s also good for diabetic neuropathy

anything involving nerve damage I’ve

done other videos on other remedies like

benfotiamine

which is a type of that side will be one

which is really good for peripheral

neuropathies but if you were to add

alpha lipoic acid with benfotiamine

together and you had peripheral

neuropathy you would feel really good

really fast and fYI Germany has approved

alpha lipoic acid for neuropathies for

many many years so this compound

counters oxidation free radicals it

crosses the blood-brain barrier it

protects the myelin sheath it also can

help the mitochondria to make more

energy so it has a lot of different

functions some people take it to lower

their a1c because it supports healthy

blood sugars and the last thing is if

you’re going to take it I recommend

taking 600 milligrams three times a day

don’t take it with meals take it an

empty stomach it’ll work a lot better

because it competes with food and I know

some people are gonna ask what brand do

I get I don’t have a specific

recommendation on that you’re gonna have

to do your own research so if you want
