Verifiable Science
Alpha-lipoic acid is both water- and lipid-soluble, so it can function as an antioxidant nearly anywhere in the body. Alpha-lipoic acid is a key component of metabolic processes, involved in muscle energy production and the conversion of calories into energy. 1 It also helps maintain healthy glucose metabolism, supports the nervous system, and provides nutritional support for healthy liver function. 2 One study showed that alpha-lipoic acid reduced serum lactate and pyruvate levels and promoted healthy glucose metabolism in both lean and overweight people. 3 A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial showed that alpha-lipoic acid helped support neurological health in participants. 4 Two independent studies have shown that alpha-lipoic acid can promote neuronal health by modulating nitric oxide metabolite activity and promoting healthy microcirculation. 5,6‡
