» Elaine Moore - Lipoic acid

The supplement, alpha lipoic acid, is a potent antioxidant used for a variety of disorders, including wasting syndrome. Recent studies show that lipoic acid inhibits various immune system chemicals that contribute to the tissue damage and inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis.
In one study involving 37 patients, a dose of 1200 mg lipoic acid was shown to decrease inflammatory markers. This supplement was well tolerated and is thought to offer benefits for MS as well as other neurodegenerative disorders.
