How it helps those with Long COVID
How it helps those with Long COVID
Individuals experiencing long COVID often report persistent symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive impairments, and nerve-related discomfort. Alpha-lipoic acid's antioxidant properties may help mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation associated with these symptoms. By supporting mitochondrial function and energy production, it may alleviate fatigue and improve cognitive function. Additionally, its neuroprotective effects could potentially reduce nerve discomfort experienced by long COVID sufferers.
Scientific Explanation
Scientific Explanation
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) functions as a coenzyme in mitochondrial energy metabolism, facilitating the decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids. Its antioxidant properties stem from its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species and regenerate endogenous antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E. ALA also chelates metal ions, reducing metal-induced oxidative damage.
