Alpha-lipoic acid​

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a veritable therapeutic treasure, sometimes dubbed the 'universal antioxidant' for its incredible versatility. Unlike other antioxidants that only work in a specific environment, such as water or fat, ALA is soluble in both. This super-antioxidant has the unique ability to regenerate itself while also regenerating other antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E, amplifying their effects.. 

But that's not all: its benefits extend far beyond simply combating oxidative stress. It is involved in energy metabolism, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and even has neuroprotective properties. What was once a humble enzyme cofactor in cells has been catapulted to the rank of biochemical superhero, fighting a host of ailments from metabolic disorders to neurodegenerative diseases.

Advantages of alpha-lipoic acid infusion therapy

 ALA has robust antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are essential in the treatment and prevention of various disorders linked to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Main indications for alpha-lipoic acid infusions

 

The versatility of LAA makes it an excellent choice for tackling a number of health problems:

- Metabolic regulation: It is particularly beneficial for people suffering from diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

- Anti-inflammatory effect: Like curcumin, ALA is a powerful anti-inflammatory, useful in conditions such as arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.

- Neuroprotection: Its neuroprotective effect may be beneficial in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.


Therapy process

Due to its reduced digestive absorption and rapid elimination by the liver, the bioavailability of ALA may be limited when administered orally. Therefore, infusion of alpha-lipoic acid offers a superior delivery method, allowing effective concentrations to be achieved directly in the circulatory system. Infusion dosages vary and are generally adapted according to the tolerance and specific needs of the patient. It is essential to consult a doctor before starting this type of treatment to determine the most suitable protocol.
