Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) for Metabolic Health

ALA contributes to improved metabolic function by aiding the conversion of nutrients into energy. Additionally, it helps regulate the body’s energy balance, which is essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism.¹ ²

Is Alpha Lipoic Acid Anti-Inflammatory?

It exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects by neutralising free radicals that contribute to oxidative stress and chronic disease development. As a result, it may support overall health and help manage inflammation-related conditions.³

Alpha Lipoic Acid for Blood Sugar Regulation

It is also recognised for its role in regulating blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity, which facilitates more effective glucose management. This effect can be particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of insulin resistance.⁴

Alpha Lipoic Acid for Energy Production

As an essential cofactor in cellular energy metabolism, ALA facilitates the enzymatic production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells. This role supports increased cellular energy availability and may contribute to the reduction of fatigue and enhancement of overall vitality.⁵
