Not much info, but my mother gave me a bottle to take after I had a kidney removed (full of cancerous tumors). She had me take a bottle of something called "Poly MVA" first and then the ALA. Its an antioxident and is a real free radical slayer. I take one 300 mg capsule a day.

Hi, Harvey,

Alpha-Lipoic acid (also called thioctic acid) is a very interesting antioxidant. It is the only known antioxidant which is both fat soluble and water soluble. It also regenerates vitamins C and E, making them even more effective anti-oxidants.

Alpha-Lipoic acid is also a heavy metal chelator. In other words, it helps eat away at heavy metals and allow them to get flushed out of your system.

Do a google search and you can find more info on it.
