November 21, 2009 An animal study shows that R-alpha lipoic acid can significantly reduce the formation of triglycerides.

    Feeding the animals R-alpha lipoic acid prevented the fat-storing genes from activating which promoted the clearance of triglycerides from cholesterol in the liver. It was noted during the study that the liver stored sugar normally (preventing insulin resistance).  Continued...

    Vitamin K is necessary for formation of prothrombin required for blood clotting, the functioning of several proteins involved in blood clotting, called coagulation. Essential for normal liver functioning and important in maintaining vitality and longevity. also aids the absorption of calcium in bone. Reduces excessive menstrual flows and prevents internal bleeding and hemorrhages.

    Naturally occurring vitamin K is absorbed from the intestines only in the presence of bile salts and other lipids through interaction with chylomicrons. Therefore, fat malabsorptive diseases can result in vitamin K deficiency. The synthetic vitamin K3 is water soluble and absorbed irrespective of the presence of intestinal lipids and bile. Since the vitamin K2 form is synthesized by intestinal bacteria, deficiency of the vitamin in adults is rare. However, long term antibiotic treatment can lead to deficiency in adults. The intestine of newborn infants is sterile, therefore, a deficiency in infants is possible if lacking from the early diet. The primary symptom of a deficiency in infants is a hemorrhagic syndrome.   more…
