Solgar Alpha Lipoic Acid 120mg Vegecaps

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) – Key Uses

Alpha lipoic acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in every cell of the body, where it helps convert glucose into energy. As a supplement, it's valued for a wide range of health applications:

• Antioxidant support – ALA is unique in that it's both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to neutralise free radicals throughout the body and even regenerate other antioxidants like vitamins C and E.

• Blood sugar regulation – One of its most researched uses is improving insulin sensitivity and helping to manage blood glucose levels, making it popular among people with type 2 diabetes or metabolic concerns.

• Nerve health (neuropathy) – ALA is widely used to support nerve function and reduce symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, such as tingling, numbness, and pain — particularly in diabetic neuropathy.

• Energy metabolism – It plays a key role in mitochondrial function, supporting the body's ability to produce cellular energy (ATP).

• Cognitive support – Due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, ALA is studied for its potential to protect brain cells from oxidative stress and support cognitive health.

• Liver health – ALA has been used to support liver function and protect against oxidative damage in liver tissue.

• Skin health – Topically and internally, ALA is used for its anti-ageing properties, helping to reduce oxidative damage to skin cells.
