Thioctic acid, also known as alpha-lipoic acid, is a naturally occurring compound with antioxidant properties. It is used mainly as a dietary supplement and has been investigated for use in diabetic neuropathy and as an adjunct in various metabolic or neurological disorders. It is not universally approved as a drug but is used as an over-the-counter supplement in many countries.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters in healthy adults after oral administration of 600 mg thioctic acid.
