Alpha lipoic acid is important in the neutralization of free radicals and reactive oxygen species. It binds to these molecules and other toxins to prevent oxidative damage to cells, including cells of the nerves. Alpha lipoic acid also plays a role in glucose metabolism by increasing insulin sensitivity within the skeletal muscle. Alpha lipoic acid is essential for several processes throughout the body such as energy production, inflammatory pathway modulation, mitochondrial support, and regeneration of antioxidants.
