This is really interesting! But it does make me wonder if we can really slow down aging. We are all getting older all the time. I think what we are really doing is looking better with age then what we would normally. But I’m not sure if we are actually going to live longer with this sort of thing.

Very informative and interesting article. I personally first heard of teh potential of alpha lipoic acid in Dr. Perricone’s anti-aging book. I have tried to incorporate it in my diet where I can and I look for it in various supplements.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is available over the counter at most drugstores. IIRC the recommended dose is 200 mg. I bought it at Walgreen’s.

I also wonder if some of the benefits of ALA have to do with its chelating actions.

Remember it’s the R form of ALA, R-Lipoic acid, which is the most beneficial. Many supplement stockists only sell the inferior Alpha Lipoic Acid.

I have been taking YoungAgain brand of ALA/L-Carnitine for almost 2 years in their product called “lifespan extension complex” They sometimes have good sales.

Both my husband and I take 400mg of ALA in the AM with 1000mg Acetly L Carnitine in the same pill and then in the evening we take half that dose. This is what our doctor recommends.

Dietary Sources of Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Good food sources of alpha-lipoic acid include spinach, broccoli, beef, yeast (particularly Brewer’s yeast), and certain organ meats (such as the kidney and heart).

Great article but need specifics of dosage. I realize these are animal studies so I guess human trials will be next. I have been aware of the claims for alpha lipoic for some time but will eagerly anticipate the results of human studies.

I follow many life extension materials including the KurzweilAI weekday offerings. I am very happy to learn of the potential of Alpha Lipoic acid as an aide to meaningful life extension. I shall send this article along to my pen friend group through IPF, an international pen friend group devoted to spreading peace and understanding throughout the world, one-on- one. ADH
