Alpha Lipoic Acid 

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is found in small amounts in a variety of foods, such as spinach, broccoli, and yeast. It is also available as a dietary supplement. ALA plays a crucial role in the metabolism of energy in the body, and it helps to recycle other antioxidants, such as vitamin C and glutathione, allowing them to be used again. Additionally, ALA has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may make it useful in the treatment of certain conditions, such as diabetes and liver disease.

ALA supplements are often used to improve symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, a nerve disorder that can occur in people with diabetes. Studies have found that ALA supplements can help to reduce pain, burning, tingling, and numbness in the feet and legs of people with diabetic neuropathy. ALA may also help to improve insulin sensitivity, which can be beneficial for people with diabetes.

ALA has also been found to have potential benefits for people with liver disease. Studies have found that ALA supplements can help to improve liver function in people with liver damage caused by alcoholism, viral hepatitis, and other conditions

Referral Studies

A study published in the journal "Diabetes Care" in 1999 found that ALA supplements improved symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in people with diabetes. The study participants who took ALA supplements experienced less pain, burning, tingling, and numbness in their feet and legs compared to those who took a placebo.

A study published in the "Journal of the American Medical Association" in 2006 found that ALA supplements improved insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. The study participants who took ALA supplements had lower blood sugar levels and required less insulin to control their blood sugar compared to those who took a placebo

It is important to note that while these studies suggest potential benefits, more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of ALA as a treatment for these conditions. It is also important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any dietary supplement.
