Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound that is synthesized by the body and is found in every cell. It is known for its powerful antioxidant properties and has been shown to have a number of potential health benefits. One potential benefit of ALA is its ability to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels, making it a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes.
ALA has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and may be useful in the treatment of certain inflammatory conditions such as neuropathy, a condition characterized by nerve damage. Additionally, ALA may be beneficial in the treatment of certain types of liver disease and may have a protective effect against liver damage caused by certain toxins.
Intravenous (IV) administration of ALA can allow for higher levels of the compound to be delivered directly to the body, which may result in more potent effects.

My experience at Gen-X has been excellent. Easy to book online, the area is clean, quiet, chairs super comfortable. A doctor did the needle and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and efficient. Worth the time and money spent.
