Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally-occurring fatty acid. Your body makes its own ALA, but it is also available in certain foods and as a supplement. ALA supplements may provide health benefits, such as aiding in weight loss and managing blood sugar, but more research needs to be done to support its use.

What Are the Benefits of Alpha-Lipoic Acid?
Supplement use should be individualized and vetted by a healthcare provider. No supplement is intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease.
The main benefit of alpha-lipoic acid in the body is that it converts blood sugar (glucose) into energy using oxygen, a process referred to as aerobic metabolism. ALA is also an antioxidant, meaning it neutralizes harmful compounds called free radicals that damage cells at the genetic level.1
Many integrative medicine healthcare providers contend that ALA can prevent or manage several health conditions, including:
Alcoholic liver disease
HIV
Alzheimer's disease
Bipolar disorder
High blood pressure
Rheumatoid arthritis
Schizophrenia
Erectile dysfunction
