Pure Encapsulations Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg Capsules provide antioxidant support. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant supplement that may help manage diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. It can also help reduce nerve pain, particularly that associated with diabetes, and may aid in weight loss by reducing hunger. ALA's antioxidant properties help reduce inflammation and remove free radicals, protecting cells from damage and lowering the risk of diseases like heart disease and cancer. Studies suggest ALA can contribute to weight loss by reducing the activity of an enzyme linked to hunger, leading to reduced food intake. It also plays a role in lowering blood sugar levels, beneficial for diabetes management and prevention. Suggested use is 1-2 capsules daily.
