Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant found in every cell, which helps turn glucose into energy. It has been approved by Health Canada as an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health and helps promote healthy glucose metabolism. Alpha lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant because it is both fat and water soluble, unlike many other antioxidants out there such as vitamin C (only water soluble) or vitamin E (only fat soluble)…
In several studies, alpha lipoic acid has been shown to decrease the blood sugar level. This decrease in blood glucose is likely to be synchronized with an increase in glucose uptake into cells. It has also been suggested that alpha lipoic acid may help regenerate other antioxidants.
