Alpha-Lipoic Acid per Aging Skin & Wrinkles

C Evidenze Evidenza limitata da studi di piccole dimensioni, ma esistono alcuni segnali positivi.

Research suggests oral ALA (300 mg/day) may reduce facial wrinkles and improve skin texture. As a universal antioxidant, it may also reduce AGE formation relevant to skin aging.
