Alpha-Lipoic Acid - \\\"the Universal Anti-Oxidant\\\"
It can act as a diabetic defence - it is an approved treatment in Germany for peripheral neuropathy.
It protects the liver - fending off the toxic effects of alcohol.
It has been used in AIDS therapy as it inhibits HIV replication.
It is an ideal antioxidant as it is soluble in both fat and water, in contrast to vitamin C which is only water soluble, and vitamin E which is only fat soluble.
