Alpha Lipoic acid or ALA is a naturally occurring compound that’s made in the body.
Alpha Lipoic Acid serves vital functions at the cellular level, including helping to maintain healthy glucose metabolism, supporting the nervous system and providing nutritional support for liver function and other metabolic processes.
Alpha lipoic acid is both water and fat soluble which allows it to function in almost any part of the body as an antioxidant.
A key component of the metabolic process, alpha lipoic acid produces energy in muscles and directs calories into energy production.
The ability of alpha lipoic acid to modulate nitric oxide metabolite activity and to promote healthy microcirculation accounted for its ability to promote nerve cell health in two separate studies.
Alpha lipoic acid for Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetics can have associated neuropathy. Excess blood sugar, inflammation and blocked small blood vessels can damage the nerves.
This can lead to pain and tingling in the hands and feet and can also result in digestive difficulties, sexual problems and eventually the need for amputation of a toe, foot or lower leg.
This article by the Mayo Clinic on dietary supplements for diabetic neuropathy reviews some studies on vitamin B12, alpha lipoic acid, acetyl-l-carnitine for diabetic neuropathy.
