Thioacid Alpha Lipoic Acid 300 mg 60 Tablets

Product Description

• Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring substance produced within the body. Yeast, liver, kidneys, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes are good sources of alpha-lipoic acid. It is also manufactured in a laboratory for use as a medicine.
• Alpha-lipoic acid is commonly used to treat nerve pain in diabetic patients (diabetic neuropathy). The pain may be described as a burning, tingling, numbness, throbbing, or stabbing sensation.
• It is also used in peripheral neuropathy (in non-diabetic patients) such as sciatica and lumbago.

How does it work?

• Alpha-lipoic acid appears to help prevent certain types of cell damage in the body, and it also restores vitamin levels such as vitamin E and vitamin C. There is also evidence that alpha-lipoic acid can improve nerve cell function and transmission in people with diabetes.
• Alpha-lipoic acid is used in the body to break down carbohydrates and generate energy for other organs in the body.
• Alpha-lipoic acid appears to act as an antioxidant, meaning it may offer protection to the brain under conditions of damage or injury. Its antioxidant effects may also be beneficial in some liver diseases.
