Succinic acid is a natural constituent of organic tissue. It is also known as amber acid, mainly because Baltic amber contains up to 8% of it in its surface and it is the only type of amber with such high concentration.

Amber acid has great significance to the human body as it is used in the Krebs cycle, alias the Citric Acid cycle, an important element in the metabolic process. It has anti-oxidants and so it helps your body fight back against free radicals or cardiac disruptions. It also has a proven record in stimulating the neural system recovery, plus it is great for the immune system and combats infections, even after a person is exposed to industrial accident radiation, as European military doctors and scientists discovered. Another interesting fact is that succinic acid compensates for body energy leaks, boosting awareness and helping in stress reduction. It also adds a significant growth to reflexes and concentration and it cures hangovers, while working against different body toxins.

In what concerns Succinic acid and Baltic amber in modern science, recent research in Germany's Hamburg University confirms the traditional beliefs about Succinic and Fumaric acids in the human metabolism, showing that they truly have safe positive effects. Currently is it commercially produced and approved by the US Food & Drugs Administration.

Researchers at the RAS' Institute of Pharmacology at Tomsk Scientific Center, such as Dr. Veniamin Khazanov, show proven records of Succinic acid being indispensable, especially for elderly people, as it restores the energy balance in the cellular system which is usually affected by age and helps the patient regain his youthful energy.

It is worth to note that Succinic acid found in amber is better and less expensive than commercial drugs.
