Anti-Oxidants Prevent Premature Aging

Lipoic Acid: The Wrinkle-Fighter

Lue Cosmetics also contains another anti-oxidant called lipoic acid, a natural substance produced by the human body that's also found in certain foods. Lipoic acid is a potent and versatile anti-oxidant. It is a critical part of a biochemical reaction that produces energy in skin cells, and it also inhibits the cells. ability to cross-link, or create chemical bridges between proteins and other large molecules. Cross-linking has been shown to contribute to the aging process by causing hardening of the arteries, wrinkles on the skin and stiffening in the joints. Lipoic acid also has a moderate anti-inflammatory effect, as well as a modest ability to neutralize a variety of toxic metals and remove them from the body.

How does topical lipoic acid fare in clinical studies? In one study, high potency lipoic acid reduced mild-to-moderate wrinkles by up to 50 percent and caused fine lines to virtually disappear. In another clinical analysis, lipoic acid significantly reduced the appearance of certain types of scars. In both studies, lipoic acid's effectiveness varied among participants. Some experienced little change in their condition, while others noticed marked improvements.

However, these variations shouldn't disqualify lipoic acid as a wrinkle-cure contender. Even well-established wrinkle treatments tend to produce widely varied results in different people. If further studies corroborate the benefits of lipoic acid, it may become one of the mainstays of today's anti-aging skin care regimens. In fact, lipoic acid will be especially welcome in the family of proven wrinkle fighters..
