For an at-glance perspective over these quantities, the dietary recommended allowances for VIC are summarized in Table 1
As a consequence, mitochondrial function and the capacity to scavenge endogenous toxins are also diminished, with possible impact on disease-processes such as those active in MS 34,35,36
It delivers Thioctic Acid (Alpha-Lipoic Acid), a fatty acid the body produces naturally but in limited, age-declining amounts
A high toxic burden : Our bodies are designed to process and eliminate any toxins we come into contact with through our natural detoxification pathways
Neurol Res
Oxidative stress can cause abnormal expression of various inflammatory markers, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and aberrant cellular energy metabolism, further increasing the joint burden and exacerbating joint damage [6, 7]
