What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?
Even though scientists had discovered that alpha lipoic acid was important in the 1950s, it wasn't recognized as an antioxidant until 1988, and only recently has alpha lipoic acid made its way onto the shelves of American health-food and supplement stores. The human body naturally produces small quantities of alpha lipoic acid making it not an essential nutrient. This means that it is not necessary to obtain alpha lipoic acid through diet. There is no known alpha lipoic acid deficiency.

Premium Quality from CNCA |
Studies have shown several potential benefits resulting from alpha lipoic acid in that it appears to regenerate other antioxidants, enhances glucose uptake, and potentially improves nerve function. Alpha lipoic acid's antioxidant properties help the body fight against a number of fat and water soluble free radicals, and when coupled with vitamins C and E, alpha lipoic acid has also been found to mimic those vitamins' antioxidant properties.
Potential Side Effects
Except for a few cases of allergic skin reactions, and a rare potential of hypoglycemia, which can cause low blood sugar in diabetic patients, alpha lipoic acid appears to be safe to take as a dietary supplement. However, we know of no studies showing the safety of long-term, daily consumption of alpha lipoic acid in humans.
