LIPOIC ACID MINERAL COMPLEXES A BREAKTHROUGH IN NUTRITION & OPTIMUM HEALTH
THE DESIGN OF LIPOIC ACID MINERAL COMPLEXES (LAMC) began with the concept of protecting and supporting normal cellular processes as an approach to proper metabolism by using a mechanism that would ‘mimic’ a pathway/cellular process that already exists in normal metabolic cellular function. This is a major departure from the current concept. The ongoing research for topics like immune system support and its responses to maintain calm tissue and cellular homeostasis is showing as an important factor in optimum health. Current scientific research is continuously developing a more integrative and combination-based approach to taking care of and targeting cell health, especially the mitochondria. Research indicates and various studies validate, that the lack of nutritional and cellular support, along with the increase in free radical damage and oxidative stress, play a key role in poor health and improper cellular function. In the 21st century, the focus has changed, emphasizing an integrative nutritional dietary approach, and a more cellular based approach in the understanding of how our bodies and their specialized cellular systems work.
In 1991, Dr. Merrill Garnett developed and patented a Lipoic Acid Mineral Complex as a metallo-vitamin. Other compounds, such as Poly-MVA, were also developed by Dr. Garnett and formulated specifically for use as nutritional supplements. The complexes achieve their effectiveness through the specific changes they contribute to energy metabolism for normal cellular function. These complexes are continuously undergoing research and testing so that they may be used and available for ongoing research.
LIPOIC ACID MINERAL COMPLEX FUNCTIONS
Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes are a unique new class of polymer, or orthomolecular molecules, composed of vitamins, minerals and amino acids which have powerful properties. LAMC complexes are nucleotide reductases (enzymes that catalyze a chemical reduction protecting cellular processes). The lipoic acid molecules are irreversibly bound with the mineral palladium and covalently bound to the vitamin B1 (thiamin) through an exclusive patented process that takes full advantage of each of their unique characteristics. The metabolic approach of the cell and the change in its metabolism are directly related to the health and function of our body. LAMC complexes are designed to support and protect our cells. Some of the powerful properties of Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes are:
Synergistic with various vitamins & minerals
Intracellular electron donor
Stronger than alpha lipoic acid
Supports reductive cell processes
Protective against oxidative stress
Supports ATP & intra-cellular hydration
The LAMC complexes can shunt/accepting energy/electrons from itself to cellular mechanism, reducing the charge to the DNA, thereby protecting it from oxidation. Electrochemistry data demonstrates that LAMC complexes are potent redox polymers, and as such can both accept and donate energy (electron charge transfer). Since many cellular functions require the presence of electrons, LAMC can be used as support and potentiate normal cellular function. This lipoic acid polymer protects the cell (absorbing free radicals due to the lipoic acid component) and then donates that energy to the electron transport chain complexes of the mitochondria because of the Thiamin B-1 component. This is the mechanism by which it can support the Krebs cycle activity and stabilize the electron transport chain helping to support and upregulate the metabolic needs of the cell.
Extensive human and animal use of Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes, for over 20 years across the globe, indicates that we have only scratched the surface in determining how many ways Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes may be beneficial. They have been shown to be very effective in quenching free radicals, providing protection from oxidative stress, working at the cellular level via the electron transport chain, supporting the mitochondria protecting our cells. Reviews have shown that improved energy and overall health is supported within a few weeks of use along with well-being, clarity and sense of wellbeing.
