Uses of α-Lipoic Acid

α-Lipoic acid is a unique free radical scavenger, often referred to as a broad-spectrum antioxidant. It is a vitamin-like substance produced naturally in the body. Unlike other specialized antioxidants produced in the body, α-lipoic acid is neither strictly fat-soluble nor water-soluble, which allows it to enhance the activity of other antioxidants in the body and serve as a widespread substitute when antioxidants are deficient. For example, if the body's stores of vitamin C or vitamin E are low, α-lipoic acid can provide temporary supplementation. Because α-lipoic acid can cross the blood-brain barrier, it can help reverse adverse effects caused by stroke. It also aids in maintaining normal blood sugar levels and preventing severe complications of diabetes.
