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 preclinical study and an open randomized trial both showed that the R form was more effective at reducing pain in patients with low back pain than the racemic form. If you’re looking for a natural remedy to help relieve your low back pain, consider talking to your doctor about R-lipoic acid. While more research is needed to determine its full potential, the current evidence suggests it may be a promising treatment option.
