α- Lipoic acid (LA) widely exists in various cells. Lipoic acid is a B-group vitamin, which has strong antioxidant and nerve nourishing effects. It has extremely high health care functions and medical value. It is called "universal antioxidant".
It is mainly used for sensory abnormalities caused by peripheral neuropathy in diabetes, and can eliminate free radicals that cause accelerated aging and disease. Lipoic acid enters cells after being absorbed in the intestinal tract in the body. It has both fat soluble and water-soluble characteristics.

At the beginning, lipoic acid was used as a medicine for diabetes, so the Japanese Ministry of health, labor and welfare classified it as a medicine. But in fact, besides treating diabetes, lipoic acid also has many functions. In June 2004, lipoic acid was reclassified from medicine to food.

Beauty and cosmetics
The antioxidant capacity of lipoic acid can remove the active oxygen components that cause skin aging. At the same time, lipoic acid is both water-soluble and fat soluble, and the skin is easy to absorb. In addition, strengthening the metabolic function will improve the blood circulation of the body and play a role in skin whitening and anti-aging. It is No.1 anti-aging nutritional agent that keeps pace with Q10 in the United States.
Animal feed
α- Lipoic acid will coordinate the metabolism of sugar, fat and amino acids, improve the immune function of animals, and as an antioxidant, it is used to protect and promote the absorption and transformation of oxidized nutrients such as VA and VE in feed.
