Buy Lipoic acid tablets 25 mg No. 50 in pharmacies

pharmachologic effect

The active component is an endogenous antioxidant that is capable of binding aggressive free radicals. Alpha lipoic acid acts as a coenzyme in the transformation of substances that have pronounced antioxidant effects.

Such substances are able to exhibit protective, protective functions in relation to cells, protecting them from the aggressive effects of reactive radicals that are formed during intermediate metabolism, or at the time of the breakdown of foreign exogenous substances (including heavy metals).

The active substance is involved in the mitochondrial metabolism of substances inside the cell. By stimulating the utilization of glucose, thioctic acid is capable of synergizing with insulin . In patients with diabetes mellitus, changes in the level of pyruvic acid concentration in the blood are recorded.

According to the mechanism and nature of the biochemical effect, the active substance is similar to B vitamins . The active substance has a lipotropic effect, which manifests itself in accelerating the utilization processes of lipids in the hepatic system. Lipoic acid can stimulate the transfer of fatty acids from the liver system to various tissues in the body.

The nature of the drug is a detoxification effect when salts of heavy metals enter the body and in case of other poisoning. Thioctic acid changes cholesterol metabolism, improves the general and functional condition of the liver.

Why does vitamin N deficiency occur and why is it dangerous?

A lack of any of the microelements needed by the body is a problem, and a complex one. Also, vitamin N deficiency is just the tip of the iceberg; the essence of the problem lies much deeper and can have serious consequences.

Vitamin N deficiency is caused by:

• unbalanced diet;
• deficiency of vitamin B1 and proteins;
• liver diseases;
• dermatitis.

In the case of hypovitaminosis N, it is impossible to name a point-by-point list of possible symptoms that should signal a deficiency of the substance. Meanwhile, a long-term lack of vitamin gives rise to serious health problems.

First of all, the nervous system suffers. Convulsions, dizziness, and polyneuritis appear. And all because instead of thioctic acid, pyruvic acid accumulates in the body, and it destroys nerve cells.

Another consequence is liver dysfunction. The next stage of the disease is hepatitis and pathological degeneration of healthy organ cells into adipose tissue, the formation of bile occurs with disruptions.

Lipoic acid deficiency also affects blood vessels. And you will have to pay for an unbalanced diet with the development of atherosclerosis.

Having analyzed the possible consequences of hypovitaminosis N, it is not difficult to compile a list of possible signals. But the presence of these symptoms no longer just warns of a slight decrease in the level of alpha-lipoic acid in the body, but signals serious consequences.

Contact your doctor immediately if:

• muscle cramps recur regularly;
• dizziness appeared;
• discomfort is felt in the liver area;
• a coating appeared on the tongue;
• there is an unpleasant odor from the mouth;
• dark spots appeared on the body, a foul smell of sweat appeared;
• There are brown circles under the eyes.

Any of the above symptoms is a signal of alarm.

Lipoic acid for weight loss

The mechanism of action of the active substance allows the medication to be used to lose excess weight. The effect is more pronounced when simultaneously actively playing sports. Lipoic acid can trigger the fat burning mechanism, but it is not possible to burn absolutely all excess fat on its own, so intense physical activity is required.

Muscle tissue “attracts” nutrients during training, and thioctic acid can increase endurance, enhance fat burning and increase the overall effectiveness of physical activity. Simultaneous adherence to the diet allows you to achieve the greatest results.

Food Sources of Vitamin N

When asked what contains the most lipoic acid, jokers answer: in pharmacy vitamins. This is actually true. But you can’t eat the “feed” of the pharmaceutical industry all your life. After all, Mother Nature also takes care of her children and has hidden some reserves of vitamin N in delicacies of animal and plant origin. So, it’s time to find out which foods contain thioctic acid, especially since a healthy body is able to provide itself with the daily requirement of the substance from food.

Leading foods containing the most vitamin N:

• offal (heart, kidneys, liver);
• red meat (beef, lamb, turkey);
• dairy products (milk, sour cream, cream, cottage cheese, kefir);
• eggs;
• yeast;
• mushrooms;
• leafy vegetables (spinach, cabbage);
• legumes;
• rice;
• Wheat groats;
• fruits.

Interaction

The medication can enhance the effects of glucocorticosteroid drugs. Suppression of the activity of Cisplatin . The drug enhances the effect of hypoglycemic agents (oral forms) and insulin.

It is not recommended to use with medications that contain metal ions (calcium, magnesium, iron) due to the ability of lipoic acid to bind metals.

If there is an urgent need to use drugs, it is recommended to maintain a certain time interval (at least 2 hours). Ethanol metabolites and ethanol itself weaken the effect of thioctic acid.

How to understand that there are already too many vitamins

It is not clear by whom and when the invented principle “The more, the better” has found its application in few places. In most cases, it only serves as an example of bad manners and bad taste. And in the story with vitamins, it can even put you on a hospital bed.

Meanwhile, it is worth understanding: vitamin N obtained from food can never provoke an overdose of the substance in the human body.

The only cause of hypervitaminosis is the synthetic form of thioctic acid, taken in a dosage significantly higher than the daily norm.

It is a little easier to determine an overdose of lipoic acid than its lack in the body. Symptoms traditional for hypervitaminosis:

• increased stomach acidity;
• heartburn;
• pain in the pit of the stomach;
• diarrhea;
• skin allergies: urticaria, itching, inflammation.

In most cases, getting rid of unpleasant symptoms is easy: just give up the synthetic vitamin. But it’s even better to forget about the practice of arbitrarily prescribing medications or vitamins for yourself, and then also about. There are doctors for these purposes. Only they, after carefully studying various blood tests and other examinations, are able to prescribe an adequate dose of deficient minerals and vitamins.

special instructions

The main metabolic pathways are oxidation and conjugation.

Benefits and harms

Lipoic acid is a natural antioxidant and vitamin. It helps normalize and accelerate metabolic processes, stimulates the pancreas, removes toxins from the body, lowers blood sugar levels, improves visual perception, has a beneficial effect on heart function, lowers cholesterol , and helps normalize blood pressure.

With the use of Lipoic acid, there is a decrease in the severity of negative reactions that occur after chemotherapy in cancer patients.

The drug has a beneficial effect on the condition of nerve endings damaged as a result of diabetes. Rarely do negative reactions occur during the use of the medication.

Vitamin for obesity

Just a few decades ago, it never occurred to anyone that excess weight, along with cardiovascular diseases, would soon be named one of the main problems of the century. “Getting rid of excess is easy! To lose weight, you need to reduce the portions you consume per day!” – skinny people who have no idea about the causes of obesity never tire of giving advice. An overweight person is not always a glutton. Stress, poor environment, irregular nutrition (often due to a specific work schedule), “sedentary” work, heredity - these are not all the reasons for possible excess weight gain caused by metabolic disorders. And the metabolism, as luck would have it, if it is disrupted, is often in the direction of slowing down. So we get a paradox with a “glass of water”, which turns into fat deposits on the sides.

And the pharmaceutical industry never tires of replenishing the arsenal of pharmacies with weight loss products. And the plump people are buying everything at breakneck speed, so as not to accidentally miss a miracle pill that can get rid of fat in a month/week/day. But, as in the old joke, we have two news for you: good and bad. The bad thing is that miracles don’t exist and you can’t lose weight in a day. And now - a good one: a pill for excess weight was invented a long time ago. It modestly lies on the shelves of all pharmacies in the world with a price tag of a penny. It is also called modestly - lipoic acid, or vitamin N, or has some other trade name, but in parentheses the name common to all countries is always indicated - thioctic acid.

The unique properties of this substance help regulate fat and carbohydrate metabolism in the body, reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels, and improve liver function.

But how do these beneficial properties affect the process of weight loss? How to lose weight with lipoic acid and is it even possible?

Vitamin N is fundamentally different from all “diet pills.” Most anti-obesity drugs, weight loss programs and diets are aimed at active fat burning, which subsequently has an even worse effect on the already disrupted metabolic process. Lipoic acid has a different tactic: it does not burn fat, but converts it into energy, which, from the point of view of nature, is more correct and beneficial for the body, and has a better result.

How vitamin N is useful for losing weight:

• reduces weight without fasting;
• normalizes rather than changes metabolism;
• improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
• prevents the development of gallstone disease;
• strengthens blood vessels and heart muscle;
• has a positive effect on vision;
• eliminates stretch marks.

Use in cosmetology

The skin on the face is the most delicate, but at the same time most often susceptible to the negative effects of the sun, wind, and frost. Therefore, more often than other areas, it requires careful care. And α-lipoic acid is best suited for facial skin as a “tasty” nourishment.

By the nature of its effect on the epidermis, thioctic acid is more reminiscent of vitamins A, E, C - it protects against free radicals and improves metabolism at the cellular level. But in addition to this, vitamin N effectively rejuvenates the skin, tightens it, and gets rid of wrinkles and acne. This vitamin of youth is found in all anti-aging creams (both the most expensive and very cheap). Lipoic acid is responsible for beautiful skin in the décolleté and neck area, making it soft, smooth and tender.

By regularly using thioctacid externally, you can forget about skin imperfections in the form of small acne scars or minor injuries, pustules and pimples.

Creams containing alpha-lipoic acid relieve swelling, inflammation, cracks, and protect collagen molecules from destruction.

Lipoic acid for cosmetic purposes can be used as a finished product or prepared independently by enriching a cream, tonic or lotion with vitamin N. The yellow powder is first dissolved in alcohol or oil and then added to the finished cosmetic product. If you don’t like this form of release, you can buy the vitamin in ampoules or capsules at the pharmacy and add it to cosmetics in this form.

How to properly dilute vitamin

1. Skin cleansing oil. Add a few milliliters of alpha lipoic acid in liquid form or a few milligrams in powder. Stir.
2. Serum for moisturizing. Vitamin saturation should not exceed 1 percent.
3. Tonic. Dilute lipoic acid in alcohol, stir thoroughly and pour the mixture into tonic.
4. Cream. Dilute the powder in an oil base (or add the vitamin in liquid form), mix with the cream.

Adviсe

1. You cannot heat up the vitamin mixture and then cool it - it loses its beneficial properties.
2. Store the finished fortified cosmetic product in a cool, dark place.
3. If you feel a burning sensation after using the drug, reduce the percentage of vitamin saturation. Therefore, to begin with, fortify cosmetics with a small portion of lipoic acid.
4. In case of contact with mucous membranes, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor.

For pregnant

When planning pregnancy, it is important to replenish all vitamin depots of the body. After all, very soon a woman will have to “feed” not only herself, but also the child, whose health at first completely depends on the health of the mother. But the course of vitamin therapy should be determined by a doctor, especially since in gynecology the emphasis is on vitamins responsible for women’s health.

Only the attending doctor can adequately determine which vitamin and in what doses a woman needs for prevention or treatment, which form of the drug is best suited, and which microelements it is better to stay away from.

It is especially important not to engage in vitamin therapy without permission during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During this special period, many doctors generally prohibit their patients from taking dietary supplements and vitamin preparations. Meanwhile, laboratory studies have shown how lipoic acid (in adequate doses) is beneficial for pregnant women. Vitamin N reduces the risk of miscarriage and abnormal development of the nervous system of the unborn baby.

Benefits of thioctic acid for women's health:

• gives additional energy;
• important for kidneys and liver;
