Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy.(Alpha-lipoic acid is not the same as alpha linolenic acid, which is an omega-3 fatty useful in heart health.) ALA has been shown to reduce blood sugar and a recent study showed that it markedly reduced weight gain in rodents. Before trying this supplement, please be aware that it may interact with diabetes medicine to lower blood sugar too much and can also interfere with thyroid hormone production. Please consult your doctor before taking this.
