Succinic Acid

Succinic acid or amber acid is a dicarboxylic acid and is an essential component of the Krebs or citric acid cycle, a key metabolic pathway regulating respiratory chain in mitochondria. This succinic acid is sourced from amber with magnesium succinate salt. Succinic acid expresses various biologic activities:it serves as a natural antibiotic due to its modest acidic or caustic natureit reduces fatigue and improves brain performanceit decreases gastric secretion relaxes gastric/duodenal smooth musclesit eases perimenopausal hot flashesit reduces the effects of hangovers by activating the degradation of acetaldehyde - a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism - into CO2 and H2O through aerobic metabolismit reduces hyperactivation of immune system associated with acute and chronic infectious processesit reduces joint painit accelerates iron absorptionit normalizes adrenal functionit improves glucose control and protects liver function
