About Eicosapentaenoic AcidAn omega-3 fatty acid, Essential fatty acid, dietary supplement, Anti atherosclerotic.Mechanism of Action of Eicosapentaenoic AcidEicosapentaenoic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is found with Docosapentaenoic acid. Omega-3 fatty acids are of polyunsaturated fatty acids that derives from food. They help to lower triglycerides and cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol (the Good cholesterol) and thus improves lipid profile. Omega 3 fatty acids may also act as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting. They have anti-inflammatory actions and also lower high blood pressure. The incorporation of Omega-3 fatty acids in the membranes of the cells increases the physicochemical stability and functional integrity. It also makes the cells less susceptible to oxidative damage and also decreases the formation of lipid peroxidases. They protect from cardiovascular disorders and may also reduce the risks and symptoms for other disorders including diabetes, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, stroke, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, mental decline, and some cancers. They aid in proper functioning of central nervous system.
Hypolipidaemic action: It produces a reduction in plasma triglycerides by reducing bad cholesterol or very low density lipoproteins.
Antiinflammatory action: Omega - 3 fatty acids are long chain poly unsaturated fatty acids.They compete with arachidonic acid for cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase They inhibits inflammatory mediators by inhibiting leukotriene synthesis pathway.
Antithrombotic effect: They promote vasodilatation, a reduction in platelet aggregation, increased bleeding time and decreased platelet counts

About Alpha-Lipoic acidNaturally occurring dithiol compound , antioxidant, Agent for neuropathies.Mechanism of Action of Alpha-Lipoic acidAlpha-lipoic acid and its reduced metabolite, Dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), form a redox couple and may scavenge a wide range of reactive oxygen species. Alpha-lipoic acid has been found to decrease urinary isoprostanes, O-LDL and plasma protein carbonyls, markers of oxidative stress. Further, alpha-lipoic acid and its redox couple DHLA have been found to have antioxidant activity in aqueous, as well as in lipophilic regions, and in extra cellular and intracellular environments. Alpha-lipoic acid participates in the recycling of other important biologic antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, Ubiquinone and glutathione.
Both alpha-lipoic acid and DHLA can scavenge hydroxyl radicals, the nitric oxide radical, peroxynitrite, hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite. Alpha-lipoic acid may scavenge singlet oxygen, and DHLA may scavenge super oxide and peroxyl reactive oxygen species.
Pharmacokinets of Alpha-Lipoic acidAbsorption: Alpha-lipoic acid is absorbed from the small intestine. The natural R-entantiomer is more readily absorbed than the L-entantiomer and is the more active form.
Distribution:It is distributed to the liver via the portal circulation and to various tissues in the body via the systemic circulation. . Alpha-lipoic acid readily crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is found, after its distribution to the various body tissues, intracellularly, intramitochondrialy and extracellularly.Metabolism: Alpha-lipoic acid is metabolized to its reduced form, dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), by mitochondrial lipoamide dehydrogenase enzyme. DHLA, together with lipoic acid, form a redox couple. It is also metabolized to lipoamide, which functions as the lipoic acid cofactor in the multienzyme complexes that catalyze the oxidative decarboxylations of pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate. Alpha-lipoic acid may be metabolized to dithiol octanoic acid, which can undergo catabolism.

About VitaminsVitamins are substances that are found in foods we eat. The term vitamin is derived from the words vital and amine, because vitamins are required for life and were originally thought to be amines. All vitamins are not amines. Vitamins are different in their chemistry, but they all are organic nutrients that are necessary in small amounts for normal metabolism and good health. Most vitamins must be provided by the diet or by supplements; only three vitamins (D, K, and the B vitamin biotin) can be manufactured in the body from non dietary sources. Vitamins are not sources of energy as are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Instead, vitamins serve as chemical partners for the enzymes involved in the body`s metabolism, cell production, tissue repair, and other vital processes. Vitamins serve crucial functions in almost all bodily processes example immune, hormonal and nervous systems.
In humans there are thirteen vitamins, divided into two groups. They are fat soluble and water soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the fat tissues in your body and in your liver. They go and wait around in your body fat until your body needs them. Water-soluble vitamins are different. Water-soluble vitamins, the vitamins don`t get stored as much in body. Instead, they travel through bloodstream comes out when urinate if body don`t used it.
In humans there are thirteen vitamins, divided into two groups; four fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), and nine water-soluble vitamins (eight B vitamins and vitamin C).
