Hmm, is Lipoic Acid the antioxidant we should be seeking?

Possible beneficial effects of Lipoic acid has been the subject of numerous research studies and clinical trials:

Prevent organ dysfunction[37]
Reduce endothelial dysfunction and improve albuminuria[38][39]
Treat or prevent cardiovascular disease[40]
Accelerate chronic wound healing[41]
Reduce levels of ADMA in diabetic end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis[42]
Management of burning mouth syndrome[43][44][45]
Reduce iron overload[46]
Treat metabolic syndrome[47][48][49]
Improve or prevent age-related cognitive dysfunction[50][51]
Prevent or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease[52][53][54]
Prevent erectile dysfunction (animal models but anecdotally applies to humans as well)[55][56]
Prevent migraines[57]
Treat multiple sclerosis[58][59][60]
Treat chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress[61]
Reduce inflammation[62]
Inhibit advanced glycation end products (AGE)[63]
Treat peripheral artery disease.[64]

I know it's used extensively in skin care preparations. I have a friend who makes her own natural skincare line, and uses it.
