umm. i am a vain person, i'm sorry. i'm wondering if anyone knows where this study came from. i want to know if it is valid? and if so, i want to know the best way to take lipoic acid. (R form only?, R and S form?, if these other things they indicate need to be taken, too.)
"In a study, 40 women with symptoms of aging skin received an oral combination of antioxidants including ALA plus proteins, vitamins, and minerals, or placebo, daily for six months. Measurements of skin thickness and elasticity, wrinkles and roughness as well as the women's self-evaluations of their skin demonstrate significant improvement in the appearance of aging."
this is from a supplement company's website (SISU) so i have no idea where they got this info from, anything about the "study", and if it's high quality or flawed or complete trash.
here is the link where the quote comes from:
