Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA),a natural anti-oxidant, benefits people with diabetes and heart disease by helping to prevent cell damage throughout the body.As a natural antioxidant,it attacks free radicals that cause damage to the cells in the body.
The body makes small amounts of ALA and you get a bit from foods such as spinach, but these sources don't provide enough to do battle especialy against diabetic neuropathy. Studies worldwide have shown ALA's ability to normalize glucose uptake and utilization.
Nerve damage or neuropathy affects over 50% of diabetics and is one of its most damaging complications. A study published in 'Diabetes Care' has shown that supplementing with ALA can partly restore diabetic nerve function after only four months of high-dose oral treatment.
Moreover,ALA can help you improve blood circulation of small capillaries,balance your blood sugar and boost your immune system.
