Thiotacid Thioctic Acid 600 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid 30 Caplets

Product Description:

• Alpha-lipoic acid is a natural product synthesized in the liver. Yeast, liver, kidney, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes are good sources of alpha-lipoic acid. It is also made in the laboratory for use as medicine.

• Alpha-lipoic acid is most commonly used for nerve pain in people with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy). Pain sensations may be described as numbness, hotness, burning, throbbing, shooting, stabbing, sharpness, cramping, and needles.

• It could also be used for non-diabetic neuropathic pain, such as low back pain and sciatica.

How does it work?

• Alpha-lipoic acid seems to help prevent certain kinds of cell damage in the body and also restore vitamin levels such as vitamin E and vitamin C. There is also evidence that alpha-lipoic acid can improve the function and conduction of neurons in diabetes.


• Alpha-lipoic acid is used in the body to break down carbohydrates and to make energy for the other organs in the body.
