Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes harmful compounds called free radicals that damage cells at the genetic level. It is also involved in converting blood sugar (glucose) into energy using oxygen, a process referred to as aerobic metabolism. ALA has been shown to offer health benefits such as:

Reducing insulin resistance

Improving blood sugar control

Easing symptoms of nerve damage

Lowering the risk of diabetic retinopathy
