Description
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally-occurring fatty acid made by your body. Its primary role is to convert blood sugar (glucose) into energy using oxygen, a process referred to as aerobic metabolism. ALA is also an antioxidant, meaning it neutralizes harmful compounds called free radicals that damage cells at the genetic level.
How does it work ? Supplement use should be individualized and vetted by a healthcare provider. No supplement is intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease. Many integrative medicine healthcare providers contend that ALA can prevent or manage several health conditions, including alcoholic liver disease, HIV, Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorder, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, schizophrenia, erectile dysfunction, and more. To date, there is little evidence to support any of these claims. Much of the research involving ALA has been centered on the management of diabetes and nerve pain. The following conditions are some of the potential uses for ALA. |
