Alpha-Lipoic Acid (also known as “LA” or “thioctic acid”) in LAMC works to help the body to produce energy by recycling the free radicals rather than just quenching them. LA has also been shown to support the liver in removing harmful substances from the body. Studies indicate that LA assists in protecting cells and supporting the natural detoxification process that removes heavy metals from the bloodstream. Because of its many benefits lipoic acid has shown to be supportive in healthy blood sugar metabolism as shown in many published studies.
As a powerful antioxidant, LA helps to neutralize the free radicals that influence the aging process and the breakdown of normal cellular processes. LA is both water and fat soluble, so it easily passes across the blood-brain barrier and is functional in most parts of the body.
Vitamin A (as Retinyl Palmitate or Retinol Acetate) is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for numerous biological processes, including vision, immune system performance, and cellular communication. In the context of mitochondrial support, Vitamin A plays a regulatory role in gene expression, particularly in pathways involved with cellular growth and differentiation. It contributes to antioxidant protection by reducing oxidative damage and stabilizing mitochondrial membranes. Additionally, Vitamin A supports epithelial integrity, helping to maintain healthy skin, mucous membranes, and the lining of vital organs, which is crucial during detoxification and systemic repair. As part of the Poly-MVA Plus formula, Vitamin A works synergistically with lipoic acid and B vitamins to promote redox balance, metabolic efficiency, and cellular resilience throughout the body.
Vitamin B-1 (thiamin) is a coenzyme that, in combination with lipoic acid, is involved in the decarboxylation of pyruvate and the oxidation of alpha keto-glutamic acid. These functions are essential to energy production, metabolism of carbohydrates and neurotransmitter function. B-1 is water soluble and is not stored in any quantities in the body.
Research indicates that B-1 activates membrane ion channels, possibly by phosphorylating them. The flow of electrolytes like sodium and chloride in or out of nerve and muscle cells through membrane ion channels plays a role in nerve impulse conduction and voluntary muscle action.
Vitamin B-2 (riboflavin) is vital to maintaining metabolism and supports multiple body systems that may include immune, nervous and oxygen delivery.
Vitamin B-12 (also known as cobalamin) is in its most common form cyanocobalamin, which is broken down to methyl cobalamin by the body. It is generally found only in meat and dairy products.
Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral. It is crucial in regulating pH balance in the body, which in turn directly affects oxygenation of cells and tissues and influences the metabolic rate of the body.
Methionine is an essential sulfur based amino acid, an important component of cartilage building blocks such as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. It is incorporated into tissue proteins and enzymes and is a component of active peptides, including methionine enkephalin and various endorphins. One of the main roles of methionine is as a methyl donor, contributing to numerous physiological pathways in the body, including formation of myelin components. In one such pathway, methionine converts to s- adenosylmethionine. In studies, L-methionine has demonstrated the ability to promote healthy cellular metabolism, enzyme activity and glutathione concentration. In the body, it converts to L-cysteine and therefore is potentially beneficial in liver detoxification and in neutralizing toxins.* It has been shown to support healthy copper and lead serum levels.* L-methionine is considered important for liver fat metabolism, healthy skin and nails and energy production. Methionine, like choline and betaine, is also a lipotropic compound supporting lipid metabolism and enhancing healthy hepatic function. In combination with antioxidants, methionine may help in proper pancreas function
