Introduction: Chronic COVID syndrome, characterized by symptoms like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, has prompted researchers to explore potential treatments. In this study, the effectiveness of a combination of coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid was investigated as a nutritional approach to alleviate these symptoms. The Study: A total of 174 patients with chronic COVID […]
A systematic review in 2022 investigated the use of Lipoic Acid (LA) as a potential treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). Research from both in vitro (using cells) and in vivo (using patients) showed that LA could protect neurons, reduce the number of infiltrating immune cells in the central nervous system, and improve walking performance in […]
A 2020 clinical trial has found that LA is both safe and effective to use over a four year period in primary prevention. The trial was led by Giuseppe Derosa and colleagues at the University of Pavia, Italy and published in the journal Drug Development and Delivery. The trial monitored the effects of LA on […]
Are you looking for a natural way to help manage your pain? Lipoic Acid (LA) may be the answer. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggests that LA may be an effective treatment for pain disorders. The researchers identified 18 RCTs involving a total of 1136 participants and their meta-analysis […]
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common complication of surgery, and a major cause of organ dysfunction, especially in the liver. ALA effects on I/R injury have been studied regarding the effects of LA on I/R injury, and its potential as an effective treatment. ALA can prevent I/R injury by reducing the production of free radicals, […]
A recent study published in the journal Pain has shown that LA may help reduce the pain associated with fibromyalgia. The study included a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial LA for the treatment of fibromyalgia pain, referred to as the IMPALA trial. The trial included 54 patients with fibromyalgia and found that those who took […]
A recent study conducted by Cristina Esposito et al. has investigated the safety and efficacy of alpha lipoic acid oral supplementation in the reduction of pain with unknown etiology. This double-blind, placebo controlled, clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LA supplementation compared to placebo in reducing pain in subjects with […]
A recent clinical trial published in Pharmacol Res has revealed that Lipoic Acid has the potential to reduce inflammation. The study showed that the LA-induced effects were brought about by cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA) signaling. The researchers used a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammation in mice to study the effects of Lipoic […]
Lipoic Acid (LA) is gaining recognition for its therapeutic potential. Recent research has demonstrated that LA has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer properties, and is being studied for its potential to treat a variety of conditions, such as diabetes, liver disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, LA is being used as a dietary supplement to improve metabolism, […]
Are you dealing with chronic low back pain? If so, you’re not alone! Studies show that up to 80% of people experience some degree of low back pain at some point in their lives. Recently, researchers have been looking into the potential of R-Lipoic Acid for the treatment of low back pain. Results from a […]
