Can Alpha-Lipoic Acid Help Neuropathy and Aging?

Poor blood sugar control can lead to common complications like damage to your eyes and nerves. Wondering how you can prevent this? Well, I would say good blood sugar control. But that’s tough at times. Diabetic neuropathy, which is damage to your nerves, is one of the most common complications affecting diabetics. It affects up to 50% of people with diabetes! And poor blood glucose control can increase your risk.

Benefits of alpha-lipoic acid in addition to lowering insulin resistance and helping blood sugar include:
1. Lose a little weight. An analysis of studies shows that people lost 1.27 more kg after an average of 23 weeks of consumption. That’s more than 5 months. Not a very significant difference in weight loss, almost negligible.
2. May reduce skin aging and protect skin from harmful UV rays (due to its antioxidant properties)
3. May slow progression of Alzheimer’s/memory loss (but is not a cure) – Memory loss is due to oxidative stress and ALA is an antioxidant.
4. May prevent heart disease and liver disease. Heart disease is responsible for 1 in 5 deaths in America. ALA can reduce oxidative stress which is also one of the causes of heart disease. And can lower bad cholesterol and fats in the blood.
