DIHYDROLIPOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

γ-Lipoic Acid, is a metabolite of α-Lipoic Acid (L468730), which is a over-the-counter nutritional supplements, that has been used as antioxidant. It is also fat-metabolism stimulator, and thus used a "weight loss" and "energy" supplement.

Definition

ChEBI: A thio-fatty acid that is reduced form of lipoic acid. A potent antioxidant shown to directly destroy superoxide, hydroperoxy and hydroxyl radicals; also has neuroprotective and anti-tumour effects.
