Information on Alpha Lipoic Acid:

Alpha Lipoic Acid (Lipoic Acid) is found in almost all foods, but slightly more so in kidney, heart, liver, spinach, broccoli, and yeast extract. Naturally occurring lipoic acid is always covalently bound and not immediately available from dietary sources.

Additionally, the amount of lipoic acid present is very low. For example: the purification of lipoic acid to determine its structure used an estimated 10 tons of liver residue, which yielded 30mg of lipoic acid. As a result, all lipoic acid available as a supplement is chemically synthesized.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (Lipoic Acid) is an organosulfur compound, one enantiomer of which is an essential cofactor for many enzyme complexes.

Since the early 1990s lipoic acid has been consumed as a dietary supplement, typical doses are 100-200 mg/day.

A chronic/carcinogenicity study in rats reported that racemic lipoic acid was found to be non-carcinogenic and did not show any evidence of target organ toxicity. The Noael is considered to be 60mg/kg bw/day
