Gert, α-linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid with a number of physiological roles. It is an essential fatty acid, which means that the human body can not synthesise it; it must come from dietary sources.
It is not the same thing as R-lipoic acid, which is a cofactor for enzymes like the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
