Overview
Chioctocin is a Korean thioctic acid (alpha-lipoic acid) antioxidant injectable supplied at 25 mg per 5 mL ampoule, 10 ampoules per box. It is used in clinician-administered antioxidant and skin-brightening protocols and is also offered within combination 'sets' alongside glutathione and high-dose vitamin C. Trade listings attribute manufacture to more than one Korean company, so the maker is not independently confirmed.
How it works
As alpha-lipoic acid, Chioctocin provides a dual lipid- and water-soluble antioxidant that scavenges free radicals across cellular compartments and helps recycle vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione. This antioxidant-regenerating action supports a brighter, more even complexion and general oxidative-stress defence. In cocktail sets, the ALA complements glutathione's tyrosinase-inhibiting brightening and vitamin C's antioxidant/collagen roles.

Usage & handling
Prescription injectable given by a qualified clinician, typically by slow IV infusion with protection from light; not for self-administration. Take a full history including diabetes/hypoglycaemia risk (ALA may lower blood glucose), thiamine status, pregnancy/lactation and prior reactions, and monitor during infusion. When used in high-dose glutathione/vitamin C cocktails, screen for G6PD deficiency before treatment due to haemolysis risk.
