ALA is a fat and water soluble antioxidant that addresses the free radicals in the body, which can be damaging as they can disrupt the structure and stability of many crucial factors at the molecular and cellular level.

Alpha Lipoic Acid can support glucose metabolism because of its action as an insulin mimic.* Glucose Transporter Type 4 (GLUT4), is the insulin-regulated glucose transporter found in skeletal and cardiac tissue that transports glucose across the cell membrane into the cell to be used for energy or stored as fat. In times of low insulin status, GLUT 4 is found within pockets of cells and it is insulin and ALA that both make GLUT 4.

Individuals with inadequate glucose metabolism often have issues with glycation, which is the bonding of a sugar molecule with a protein or fat molecule without the regulation of an enzyme. This bonding causes severe tissue damage and leads to decreased kidney, eye, and cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that ALA halts glycation and promotes the transfer of blood sugar into the cells by stimulating insulin activity.*
