Reconstitution requires bacteriostatic water and proper sterile technique
Chemical structures of lipoic acid and lipoyllysine residue The figure illustrates the chemical structures of lipoic acid in its oxidized and reduced forms, its two enantiomers ( R - and S -lipoic acid), and its covalent attachment to a lysine residue of the E2 component of the -ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (and the H protein of the glycine cleavage system), forming a lipoyllysine moiety
L-glutathione looks similar but isn't as good at fighting free radicals
Indirect markers include elevated oxidative stress markers, poor recovery from exercise, chronic fatigue, weakened immune function, or elevated liver enzymes
The NHS provides resources on maintaining adequate B12 intake for those following plant-based diets, emphasising the importance of fortified foods such as breakfast cereals, plant-based milk alternatives, and yeast extract products commonly available in the UK
