本品是Kirkman唯一非低敏的加味阿尔法硫辛酸(alpha lipoic acid)产品。加有薄荷味可掩盖硫辛酸常有的灼热感。
阿尔法硫辛酸(alphalipoic acid)是一种二硫化合物，也叫作thioctic acid。硫辛酸是一种很特别的抗氧化剂，它既是脂溶性的，也是水溶性的。其它大家熟悉的抗氧化剂只能在它们自己的溶剂媒介中起作用，如维生素E在细胞脂肪膜内起作用。维生素C在细胞含水部分起作用。而硫辛酸具有双向溶解度，它能同时在细胞的脂肪和水相中起作用。这一特性使硫辛酸能完全发挥它的抗氧化性能，抵御各方入侵的自由基。
硫辛酸的化学结构有两个硫原子，一个羧基，这是一种很活跃的化合物。硫阿尔法辛酸在细胞内转化成还原形态----二氢硫辛酸。二氢硫辛酸有两个硫氢基。
天然食物中也有α-硫辛酸，如菠菜，甘蓝，西红柿，肝，心和动物肌肉组织。但因为食物中的硫辛酸与一种叫”lipoyllysine”的蛋白质捆绑在一起，因此食物的生物利用受到限制。初步研究认为补充剂的硫辛酸比食物中与这种蛋白质捆绑在一起的硫辛酸具有更高的生物活性。Kirkman的阿尔法硫辛酸胶囊可吞服或将胶囊内容物混于食物或饮料中服食。
要服用高质量的硫辛酸才能获得预期的效果。美国有许多劣质产品, 纯度不够, 效果差。最重要的是要选择能提供优质的硫辛酸产品的供应商。Kirkman只用最高纯度的硫辛酸。
特别提醒：存放于干冷的地方并拧紧瓶盖。远离小孩。

Kirkman’s Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful and versatile
antioxidant that helps protect the body against free radical damage and, as a
result, is a protector of many types of cells and tissues. It also helps
increase glutathione production, which helps in detoxification processes in the
body.
This product is Kirkman’s only flavored, non-hypoallergenic alpha lipoic acid
product. Its menthol flavor can help suppress the burning sensation that
lipoic acid often elicits.
Alpha lipoic acid is a disulfide compound also known as thioctic acid.
Lipoic Acid is a unique antioxidant in that it is both fat- and
water-soluble. Other well-known antioxidants can only function within
their soluble media, such as vitamin E in fatty membranes of cells and vitamin
C in watery portions of cells. Because of its dual solubility, lipoic
acid can function in both fatty and aqueous phases of the cell. This is
significant and makes lipoic acid a complete antioxidant capable of defending
against a wide variety of invading free radicals.
Alpha lipoic acid has both sulfur atoms and carboxyl groups in its chemical
structure, making it a very reactive compound. Alpha lipoic acid is
converted into the reduced form, dihydrolipoic acid, inside of cells, and
dihydrolipoic acid possesses two sulfhydryl groups.
Alpha lipoic acid is found naturally in foods such as spinach, broccoli,
tomato, liver, heart and animal muscle tissue. Its bioavailability from
food may be limited, however, because it is bound to a protein called
"lipoyllysine.” Preliminary research suggests that the lipoic acid
found in supplements may be more biologically active than lipoic acid bound to
this protein in food. Kirkman’s Alpha Lipoic Acid capsules can be
swallowed or the contents of the capsules mixed in food or beverages.
It is important to use a high quality lipoic acid to get the desired
effects. There is a lot of poor quality product available in the United States,
which may not be pure or fully potent, so it is important to trust your
supplier of lipoic acid to deliver high product quality. Kirkman® uses
only the highest quality lipoic acid available.
